What does CLUTCH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To grasp something tightly, often out of fear, need or desperation.
People clutch a rail on a rocking boat, a child clutches a toy, and a worried speaker clutches the page of notes. As a noun the word has several quite different senses: the pedal and mechanism that links a car engine to its wheels, a small handbag held in the hand, and a set of eggs laid together in a nest. Sports writers also use it as an adjective for a player who performs well under pressure.
