What does DISARM mean in Scrabble?
verb
To take away weapons from a person or group, or to make a bomb or device unable to go off.
The meaning stretches from the literal to the personal, since a charming reply can disarm an angry critic just as a bomb squad disarms a device. Countries speak of disarming when they reduce or give up their military forces. The root is the same as in arm, with the prefix dis- reversing it, so the word means to strip away what a person or thing could use to harm.
