What does FRISK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To search a person quickly by running the hands over their clothing, checking for hidden items.
Security guards and police officers frisk people to check for weapons or contraband, patting down pockets, sleeves and waistbands without a full search of belongings. The same word has an older, unrelated sense describing playful, energetic movement, as when lambs frisk about a field, and both senses remain in current use side by side. Context almost always makes clear which meaning is intended.
