What does PHRASE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small group of words that belong together and express a single idea, without forming a complete sentence.
In grammar a phrase such as "on the table" works as one unit inside a clause, while in everyday speech the word often means a memorable turn of expression. Musicians borrow it too, since a musical phrase is a short stretch of melody that feels like one breath. Writers often hunt for the right phrase when a plain word will not carry the exact shade they want.
How PHRASE is used
Very common in grammar, writing and music teaching.
- The phrase stuck in her mind for days.
- He underlined each noun phrase in the sentence.

- The violinist shaped every phrase with care.
