What does LETUP mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A temporary decrease or pause in the intensity, pace, or difficulty of something, especially something demanding or unpleasant.
Letup is used most often in negative constructions such as without letup or no letup, describing weather, work, or pressure that continues relentlessly with no relief. The word carries an informal, conversational tone rather than a technical one, so it appears more often in news reports and everyday speech than in formal writing. Because it names an absence of relief rather than the relief itself, letup is almost always heard when someone is describing a difficulty that refuses to ease.
