What does DARTLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
literaryarchaic
To dart, flash or shoot forth quickly and repeatedly, as light, movement or a glance might.
To dartle is to move or flash rapidly and repeatedly, as a fish might dartle through shallow water or firelight might dartle across a wall. The word is built as a frequentative form of dart, meaning it describes a repeated version of the plainer action, in the way that sparkle relates to spark. It survives mainly in older or deliberately poetic writing rather than in ordinary modern speech, especially for the flicker of light, the movement of small creatures, or a quick, repeated glance.
