What does IDEATE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To form an idea or mental conception of something.
Ideate is the verb form behind idea, and it describes the mental act of conceiving a plan, image or concept before it takes any concrete shape. The word is common today in design, business and creativity contexts, where teams are told to ideate before they begin building or testing anything, a specialised sense that overlaps with imagine or conceive. Older, more general use simply meant to form any idea at all, without the modern emphasis on brainstorming.
