What does APPOSE mean in Scrabble?
verb
formal
To place two things next to each other or side by side so that they can be compared or fitted together.
Appose is a formal, mostly technical verb found in anatomy and biology, where two surfaces are said to be apposed when they lie in direct contact, as the edges of a wound do when stitched. It is easily confused with oppose, but the sense is about placing together, not about resistance. It comes from Latin ponere, "to put", with the prefix ad-, and the noun apposition belongs to the same family.
