What does INSERT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To put something into or between other things, so that it fits or becomes part of them.
To insert something is to place it carefully into a space, gap, or sequence, whether that means a key into a lock, a clause into a contract, or a scene into a film during editing. The word carries a sense of deliberate placement, unlike a looser verb such as put, which can describe setting something down anywhere. Editors and publishers also use insert as a noun for a loose page or advertisement placed inside a magazine, a use that grew directly out of the verb. Genetics borrowed the same idea, describing how a segment of DNA can insert itself into a chromosome.
How INSERT is used
