What does COVER mean in Scrabble?
verb
To place something over or in front of another thing, so as to protect, hide or close it.
Cover is one of the most flexible verbs in English, stretching from the simple act of covering a pot with a lid to insurance covering a loss, a journalist covering a story, or a band choosing to cover someone else's song. All of these senses share the same core idea of one thing extending over or standing in for another. The noun a cover, for a book jacket, a lid or a shelter, grew directly out of the same verb.
