What does CEASE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To come to an end, or to stop doing something.
To say that fighting has ceased is to say it did not just pause but stopped happening altogether, often after continuing for some time. Cease appears often in formal or official language, as in a request to cease and desist, and in descriptions of a truce in which armies cease fighting. It entered English from French and ultimately from a Latin verb meaning to yield or give way.
