What does VAGUE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not clearly or precisely expressed, stated, or perceived; lacking definite form or detail.
Vague describes language, memory, or planning that stays hazy rather than specific, as when a witness gives a vague description or a manager offers only a vague outline of next year's budget. The word can carry a mild edge of criticism, suggesting someone is being evasive rather than simply uncertain. It applies just as easily to physical perception, describing a shape barely visible through fog or darkness. Vague comes from the Latin vagus, meaning wandering, the same root that gives English the word vagabond.
