What does FUGUE mean in Scrabble?
noun
musicmedical
A musical composition in which a short theme is introduced by one voice and then taken up and developed in turn by the other voices; also a rare psychological state involving loss of awareness of one's own identity.
In music, a fugue begins with a single theme, and each new voice enters with the same theme while the earlier voices continue with related material, building a dense and highly structured texture that composers such as Bach mastered. In psychology, a fugue state is a period in which a person loses track of their identity and may travel or act without any later memory of it, a very different and much rarer sense. Both meanings share the idea of something moving away from a fixed starting point.
