What does YOUTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
The period of life between childhood and adulthood, or a young person, especially a young man.
Youth works two ways in English: as an uncountable noun for the whole stage of life when someone is young, and as a countable noun for an individual young person, most often a teenage boy or young man. The uncountable sense also covers a group, as in the youth of a country or the youth of today, when writers talk about young people collectively. Because it can mean either a stage of life or a person living through it, youth appears constantly in discussions of education, culture and social policy.
How YOUTH is used
Very common in everyday speech and writing, referring either to the stage of being young or to a young person.
