What does REVIEW mean in Scrabble?
noun
A formal assessment or careful second look at something, or a published opinion of a book, film or product.
A review can be an inspection of how a project is going, a court looking again at an earlier decision, or a critic's judgement printed for readers. Students also review their notes before an exam, which means going over them again. Military usage gives the word one more sense, a ceremonial parade inspected by a senior officer. The verb shares all of these senses, and the Latin roots simply mean to see again.
