What does REFORM mean in Scrabble?
verb
To change something so that it works better, especially by correcting faults or abuses.
People reform laws, institutions, habits and even themselves, and the word always carries the idea of improvement rather than mere change. It comes from the Latin reformare, meaning to shape anew. As a noun it names the act of such improvement, as in tax reform or prison reform, and it is stressed on the second syllable in both uses.
