What does FLUSH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To cleanse or clear something by causing a rapid flow of water or other liquid through it.
The core action behind flush is a sudden rush of liquid used to carry something away, whether that is the cistern above a toilet, a wound being rinsed clean, or a hidden bird driven out of cover by beaters, to flush a pheasant from the undergrowth uses the same idea of forcing something out with a sudden movement. From the physical sense the word extended naturally to the body: to flush is also to go red in the face, as blood rushes suddenly to the skin, which is why the same word covers both a lavatory and a blush. As an adjective, flush describes two quite different things again: a surface perfectly level with another, or, informally, somebody who currently has plenty of money.
