What does BITE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To use the teeth to cut, grip, or pierce something.
An animal or person that bites closes its teeth on something, whether to eat it, to test it, or to attack in self-defence, and the same word describes an insect piercing the skin to feed. Because the action ranges from a gentle nibble to a fierce attack, bite is one of the most common verbs used for anything done with the teeth or, more loosely, for sharp effects such as cold that bites or criticism that bites.
