What does CROAK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make a low, hoarse sound, as a frog or crow typically does.
Ponds fill with the repeated croak of frogs on warm evenings, and the same rough, cawing noise comes from crows and ravens overhead. A person's voice can also croak when illness or exhaustion roughens it, as in he could barely manage a reply. In casual slang, to croak sometimes means to die, though this use is old-fashioned and stays out of careful writing. The noun a croak names one instance of this rasping call.
How CROAK is used
Literal for the calls of frogs and corvids; informal and slightly old-fashioned as slang for a rough, weakened voice.
