What does DEFRAG mean in Scrabble?
verb
technicalinformal
To rearrange the pieces of files on a computer disk so that each file is stored in one continuous block.
Defrag is the short form of defragment, a routine task on older spinning hard disks, where files get split into scattered pieces over time and the drive slows down while hunting for them. Running a defrag tool puts the pieces back together and can restore speed. Modern solid-state drives do not need the treatment, so the word is now often heard in a looser sense of tidying up.
