What does ERUPT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To burst out suddenly and often violently, as when a volcano throws out lava, ash, and gas.
A volcano that erupts sends melted rock, ash, and gas bursting out from beneath the ground, sometimes with enough force to affect the surrounding land for miles. The word extends easily beyond geology, describing anything that breaks out suddenly, such as a crowd that erupts into cheers or violence that erupts without warning. Doctors also use erupt to describe a rash or a tooth suddenly appearing on or through the skin. In every sense, the word carries the idea of pressure building quietly before releasing all at once.
How ERUPT is used
Used literally for volcanoes and figuratively for any sudden, forceful outburst of noise, emotion, or activity.
