What does BLUR mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make something unclear or indistinct, especially so that its edges or details can no longer be seen sharply.
Tears, movement, fog or a badly focused lens can all blur an image or a view, smearing its sharp edges into a vague shape, and the same word describes the mind when tiredness or emotion makes memories or distinctions run together. A photograph taken while the subject moves will blur in exactly this way.
