What does DANGLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To hang or swing loosely, especially from a single point of attachment.
Loose keys, earrings, and legs over the edge of a chair all dangle when nothing but one point holds them up and gravity does the rest. The verb is also used figuratively for offering something enticing without yet delivering it, as when an employer might dangle a promotion in front of staff. In its literal sense, dangle differs from swing in that dangle implies a hanging, slightly unstable looseness rather than a deliberate back-and-forth motion.
How DANGLE is used
Common in everyday speech, both for physical hanging and for the figurative sense of tempting someone with a reward.
- The keys dangle from a hook by the door.
- She let her feet dangle over the edge of the dock.
- A single bulb dangled from the ceiling on a bare wire.
