What does FONDLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To touch or stroke something gently and lovingly with the hands.
The verb fondle began as a form of fond, in the old sense of dote, and kept the feeling of tenderness. It fits pets, babies, treasured objects or a favourite fabric. Because the word can also suggest unwelcome touching of a person, writers choose it with care and prefer stroke or caress when they mean something innocent.
