What does SUCKLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To feed a baby or young animal with milk from the breast or teat.
You can suckle a child, or a baby or lamb can suckle at its mother, so the verb works in both directions. It is gentler and more old-fashioned than nurse in many contexts, and writers about farming and wildlife use it often. Mammals are defined in part by the fact that the mother can suckle her young. The related word suck gives it its shape.
