What does IGNITE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To set something on fire, or to catch fire.
Ignite is used both for the act of setting a substance alight, as when a spark ignites fuel, and for the substance itself catching fire on its own. Beyond its literal use in chemistry and engineering, ignite is common figuratively for suddenly arousing strong feeling or starting a dramatic event, as when a remark ignites an argument or a single incident ignites a wider conflict. The word's root sense of kindling with fire still underlies all of these extended meanings.
