What does CHILL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A moderate but unpleasant feeling of coldness, often accompanied by shivering.
A chill can come from a cold wind cutting through thin clothing, from the first shivering stage of a fever, or from sheer fright, since English also uses chill for the sudden shudder of fear that runs through someone at bad news. As a verb, to chill something means to lower its temperature deliberately, as when a cook chills a dessert in the refrigerator before serving it, or to chill a person emotionally, making a warm welcome turn cold and distant. In casual modern speech chill has also come to mean simply relaxing or spending time without pressure, so telling a friend to chill can mean either to calm down or to hang out together. Metalworkers use a separate technical sense, an iron chill, a mold surface designed to cool molten metal quickly and harden it.
