What does BREACH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A gap or break, or a failure to keep a rule, promise or agreement.
The word first described a physical opening made by force, such as a hole battered in a wall during a siege. From that picture came the wider senses of broken trust, a breach of contract or a breach of security. As a verb it means to make such a gap or to break an obligation, and it is also used of a whale leaping clear of the water. Lawyers use it constantly, and journalists use it for any leak or intrusion.
