What does ERODE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To gradually wear away or destroy something through a slow, continuous process, whether the eroding force is physical, such as wind and water, or figurative, such as time and doubt.
Wind and flowing water erode rock and soil over long stretches of time, carrying away tiny particles until a canyon, a coastline, or a riverbank looks entirely different from how it once did. The same verb works just as naturally away from geology, since public trust can erode after a string of broken promises, and a person's confidence can erode after repeated failure. Engineers and conservationists study exactly how quickly a given slope or shoreline will erode so that they can plan defenses before serious damage occurs. Because erosion happens so gradually, people often fail to notice how much has changed until they compare a landscape, a relationship, or a reputation with how it looked years earlier.
How ERODE is used
Used literally for the wearing away of land or rock, and figuratively for the gradual weakening of trust, confidence, or support.
