What does CHASE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To pursue someone or something quickly in order to catch, drive away, or reach it.
A dog will chase a squirrel across a yard purely on instinct, while police chase a fleeing suspect through city streets with a clear goal of catching them, so chase covers pursuit driven by both instinct and deliberate intent. The word also stretches into figurative territory, as when someone chases a dream, a promotion, or an unpaid invoice, pursuing an outcome rather than a moving body. In falconry and hunting, the noun chase named both the act of pursuit and, historically, private hunting ground set aside for it, a sense now mostly confined to place names and old records. Jewellers also use chase as a technical verb for cutting or engraving a decorative pattern into metal, an unrelated meaning from a different word history.
