What does BATHE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To wash the body by immersing it in water, or to immerse something in a liquid for cleaning, soothing, or soaking.
To bathe most often means to wash the body by sitting or soaking in water, whether in a bathtub at home or, in British usage, by swimming in the sea or a river for pleasure. A parent might bathe a young child each evening, gently washing away the day's dirt, while a nurse might bathe a wound with a warm saline solution to clean and soothe it. Beyond hygiene, bathe can describe light or warmth spreading over something, as when sunlight seems to bathe a room in a golden glow. The verb's range, from literal washing to figurative immersion in light, traces back to the same core idea of surrounding something completely with a substance.
