What does CASCADE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small waterfall, or a series of falls descending over rocks in steps.
Beyond water, a cascade can be anything that pours or tumbles in a flowing mass, such as hair, sparks or notes of music. In technical use it also names a chain of stages where each one triggers the next. The word suggests beauty and motion more than the blunt word waterfall does.
