What does FEDEX mean in Scrabble?
verb
trademark
To send a package by a fast courier service, especially the FedEx company; used generically for express delivery.
Fedex started as the trademarked name of the Federal Express courier company and later slipped into ordinary speech as a verb for sending something by fast delivery. People often say they will fedex a document even when a different courier actually carries it, much as some say xerox for photocopying. Dictionaries note it as an informal, trademark-derived verb rather than a fully generic term. Careful writers often prefer a neutral verb such as ship or courier instead.
How FEDEX is used
Informal and derived from a trademark; some style guides prefer a neutral alternative such as ship or courier.
