What does CREASE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A line, fold or ridge pressed into paper, cloth or skin, usually by folding, pressing or repeated movement.
A crease appears wherever something pliable is folded or pressed hard enough that the mark stays after the pressure is removed, whether it is a trouser leg pressed sharp for a formal occasion or a line etched into skin by age and expression. In cricket, a crease also names the painted lines marking where the bowler and batsman must stand, a specialised sense with nothing to do with folding. The word works equally well as a verb, so that fabric or a face can crease under enough pressure.
How CREASE is used
Also a verb; in cricket it names the marked lines on the pitch, unrelated to folding.
