What does BLUSH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To turn red in the face, especially from embarrassment, shame, or shyness.
When someone blushes, small blood vessels near the surface of the skin widen suddenly and let more blood show through, an involuntary reaction that no amount of willpower can stop once it starts. People tend to blush at a compliment, an awkward mistake, or unwanted attention, and the reaction is often treated as visible proof of a feeling the person would rather have kept private. The same word works as a noun, so a sudden blush spreading across someone's cheeks can be described directly, and cosmetics brands borrowed the word for the pink powder or cream sold to imitate it.
How BLUSH is used
A common, everyday word for the physical reaction and, separately, for the cosmetic product that mimics its colour.
