What does EVOKE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To bring a feeling, memory, or image to mind.
To evoke something is to call it up in someone's mind, often through a sensory trigger like a smell, a piece of music, or a familiar place. Writers and artists deliberately choose details that evoke a particular mood or memory in their audience without stating it directly. The word differs from simply describing, since it implies an indirect, often emotional response rather than a plain statement of fact. Evoke can apply to memories, emotions, historical periods, or even reactions from an official body.
How EVOKE is used
Common in writing about art, literature and memory, describing an indirect prompting of feeling or recollection.
