What does DODGE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To avoid something, especially by moving quickly aside, or to evade a duty, question, or responsibility through cunning or deceit.
Someone can dodge a physical object, like a thrown ball or an oncoming car, by shifting position at the last moment. The word also stretches into figurative use, where a politician might dodge a difficult question or a worker might dodge an unwanted task. Because dodge implies quick, often clever evasion rather than a direct confrontation, it carries a slightly sly or evasive tone in both senses.
