Meaning of this frown.
Hi,
Is there any meaning of "frown" other than angry? The sentence below is from a book but I see no reason the teacher gets angry at a map of Europe. It just didn't fit in the context.
The agent came for me during a geography lesson. She entered the room and nodded at my fifth-grade teacher, who stood frowning at a map of Europe.
Thank you,
M

I think this definition works well enough:
to contract the brow, as in displeasure or deep thought; scowl.
to contract the brow, as in displeasure or deep thought; scowl.
