What does VIGOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
Physical strength, energy, and active good health; also, forceful intensity or enthusiasm applied to an activity.
Vigor describes the kind of robust energy a person, animal, or plant shows when functioning at full strength, whether that means a young athlete's stamina or a fast-growing vine's vigorous spread. The word also covers mental and creative energy, as when a writer argues a point with real vigor rather than a flat or half-hearted tone. Vigor is the standard American spelling, while British English generally prefers vigour, though both trace back to the same Latin root meaning liveliness. Losing vigor, through age, illness, or fatigue, is treated as the opposite of thriving, which is why the word so often appears paired with health and youth.
