What does ENGAGE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To involve oneself or another person in an activity, task, or relationship, or to occupy someone's attention or effort.
Engage covers a wide range of situations that share one idea: two things coming together and staying connected, whether that is a person's mind, two armies, or the teeth of a gear. A teacher tries to engage a class, a company might engage a lawyer, and two nations can engage in conflict, all using the same underlying sense of active involvement. The word also has a mechanical use, describing parts of a machine that lock together to work as one, which is where phrases like engage the clutch come from.
