What does WEARY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Feeling or showing extreme tiredness, physically, mentally or emotionally.
Weary describes a deeper and often longer-lasting tiredness than simple sleepiness, whether from hard physical labour, a long journey or repeated disappointment. A traveller may feel weary after days on the road, while a person can also grow weary of a situation, meaning they have lost patience or interest in it through repetition. Writers frequently pair weary with words like eyes, feet or heart to suggest tiredness that shows itself in a person's whole manner and appearance. The related verb to weary means to make or become tired, extending the same idea of exhaustion into an action.
