What does SELECT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To choose one or several things from a larger group, usually after weighing the options.
To select is to pick with some care, which makes it a little more formal and deliberate than simply taking what is nearest. Teams select players, shoppers select fruit, and software asks users to select a file before opening it. As an adjective the word describes something chosen for quality, so a select group is a small and exclusive one. It comes from Latin seligere, to pick out.
