What does PROPEL mean in Scrabble?
verb
To drive or push something forward with force.
Engines, sails, oars and muscles all propel things, and the verb also works for people who are pushed into a new situation, as when a single song propels a singer to fame. It comes from the Latin propellere, to drive forth, and is the root of the words propeller and propulsion. Unlike push, it suggests steady movement over some distance.
