What does CREATE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To bring something into existence that did not exist before.
To create is broader than simply to make, since it suggests that something genuinely new has come into being rather than being assembled from existing parts, whether that is a painting, a company, a law or, in religious accounts, a universe. Writers, inventors and legislators are all said to create when their work adds something original to what existed before. In British informal speech, create also has a separate, unrelated sense meaning to make a fuss or complain loudly.
How CREATE is used
The everyday sense means to originate something new; the informal British sense means to make a fuss.
- The sculptor set out to create something no one had seen before.
- Parliament can create new offences by passing a law.
- The chef tried to create a dessert unlike any on the menu.
- She began to create quite a scene when the flight was delayed.
