What does FORCE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Strength or power exerted on something, or a group of people organized for a particular purpose, such as a task.
Force can mean raw physical push or pull, the kind a scientist measures in newtons when a hand shoves a door open, and the same word names an organized body of people, such as a police force or a sales force, gathered to carry out one job. Governments speak of a law coming into force once it takes legal effect, and a person can force a lock, force a smile, or be forced into a decision against their will. Across all these uses the core idea stays the same: something pushing, compelling or acting with effect on something else.
