What does FORGE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To shape metal by heating it and hammering or pressing it into form, or to produce a fraudulent copy of a document, signature, or object.
A smith forges iron by heating it in a fire until it softens enough to hammer into shape, and the same word later stretched to cover any kind of careful, deliberate making, honest or not. To forge a signature or a passport means to copy it closely enough to pass for genuine, a sense that keeps the original idea of shaping something by hand and effort. A separate, unrelated use, forge ahead, describes pushing steadily forward despite resistance, as a ship forges through heavy water.
