What does INCLIP mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To clasp tightly in the arms or hold within a close embrace.
Inclip is a poetic verb of the older language, built from the prefix in and the old verb clip, which once meant to hug. It turns up in verse where a writer wants to picture an embrace or the way one thing closes around another. Modern English has dropped it, and a reader is far more likely to meet the plain verb embrace.
