What does FEASE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicdialect
To drive off, frighten or discompose; also, to unravel or fray the strands of a rope or cloth.
Fease is one of several old spellings, alongside feeze and pheeze, of a verb that gave modern English its everyday word faze; only the sense of unsettling someone survived into that later form, while fease itself once covered a wider range of meaning, including a loose thread working itself apart at the end of a cord. Writers of an earlier century used it in stories and letters where a modern author would simply reach for faze or fray. A stubborn character in such a tale might be described as one that nothing could fease, however hard the pressure applied against him.
How FEASE is used
Archaic and dialectal, found in older regional speech and in writing about the history of the word faze rather than in current standard English.
