What does UTTER mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Complete and total, used to emphasize the extreme degree of something, especially something negative.
Utter almost always attaches itself to a noun with a strong emotional charge, as in utter chaos, utter nonsense or utter despair, where it pushes the following word to its most extreme sense. Unlike related words such as absolute or complete, utter carries a slightly negative or dramatic flavor, so people rarely describe utter joy without a hint of exaggeration. The adjective is unrelated to the verb utter, meaning to speak, even though both trace back to the same old idea of something reaching an outer limit.
