What does WAGED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
British
Employed in work that pays a wage, and so receiving regular pay, as distinct from being unwaged.
Waged is most often used in British English to describe someone in paid employment, typically in phrases that set the waged against the unwaged, such as concession schemes that charge one price for waged customers and a lower price for the unwaged. It also appears as the past form of the verb wage, as in a country that waged a long campaign, though that sense belongs to the verb rather than to this adjective use. As an adjective, waged status is often the basis for discounts, fees or benefits, marking someone as currently earning an income from work. The distinction is common in ticket pricing, membership forms and social policy discussion in the United Kingdom.
