What does FIDGE mean in Scrabble?
verb
Scotsdialect
To fidget, twitch, or move about restlessly, especially from impatience or nervous energy.
Fidge is the older root form from which the more familiar word fidget eventually developed, and it survives today mainly in Scots and northern English dialect speech. Someone described as fidging in their seat is shifting about, unable to settle, much as fidget describes today, but the shorter form carries a distinctly regional, old-fashioned flavor. Dialect writers and dictionaries of Scots vocabulary keep the word alive even though standard English speakers now reach for fidget instead.
How FIDGE is used
Chiefly Scots and dialect, largely displaced in standard English by the later form fidget.
- The child began to fidge in her chair before the test started.
