What does WAKEN mean in Scrabble?
verb
literary
To wake up, or to cause someone to wake up, from sleep.
Waken works both without an object, as in he wakened early, and with one, as in the noise wakened the baby, covering much the same ground as the more common verb wake. English speakers today reach for wake far more often in casual speech, leaving waken with a slightly more formal or literary feel, especially in the sense of rousing someone else. Waken also appears in the figurative sense of stirring feelings or interest, as when a piece of music is said to waken old memories. Despite sounding old-fashioned to some ears, waken remains in active use, particularly in British and literary English.

Used in both everyday and literary English, slightly more formal than the common verb wake.
