What does AWASH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Covered or flooded with water so that the surface just washes over; also used figuratively to mean overwhelmed or filled with something.
Awash first described a rock, deck, or low shore lying exactly level with the water, so that waves washed steadily over it without fully submerging it. Sailors used the word to warn of a hazard barely visible above the waterline, since something awash is far easier to miss than something clearly sticking up or fully underwater. The word later broadened into a common figurative sense, describing a place or situation flooded with an abundance of something, such as money, rumors, or light. Both senses share the same core image of something spreading over a surface until it is fully covered.
