What does BROWSE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To look through something casually, without a fixed goal, or (of an animal) to feed on leaves and shoots.
The oldest sense of browse belongs to deer, goats and cattle that nibble the young shoots of shrubs and trees instead of grazing grass. People borrowed it for the way a shopper wanders along shelves or a reader leafs through a book, and today it is most often heard about the internet. Browsing implies no need to buy or finish anything, which separates it from searching, where a specific target is wanted.
