What does DITCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long, narrow channel dug in the ground, especially at the side of a road or field, to carry away or hold water.
A ditch runs along a road, a field boundary or a patch of low-lying land, catching rainwater and carrying it off before it can pool and cause flooding. Farmers dig ditches to drain wet fields, while highway crews maintain them to keep water away from the road surface. The same word works as a verb with a very different flavour, meaning to abandon or get rid of something, as when a plan, a habit or even a meeting is ditched without ceremony. Both uses share an underlying sense of discarding or setting something aside, whether that is water running off the land or an idea left behind.
How DITCH is used
Very common in everyday speech, both for the drainage channel itself and, informally, for abandoning something or someone.
- Rainwater collected in the ditch beside the lane.
- Workers cleared weeds from the drainage ditch each spring.
- The car skidded off the road and into a ditch.
- She decided to ditch her old routine and start fresh.
- He ditched the meeting at the last minute without warning.
