What does SCRAPE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To drag a hard or sharp edge across a surface so that it removes a layer or leaves a mark.
People scrape paint from a wall, burnt food from a pan or ice from a windscreen, and the word carries the harsh rasping sound of the act as well. It also works loosely: to scrape through an exam is to pass by the narrowest margin, and to scrape together money is to gather it with effort. In computing the verb has gained a newer sense of pulling data automatically from web pages.
