What does LIAISE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To communicate and work closely with a person or group in order to cooperate on a shared matter.
Liaise usually describes an ongoing working relationship rather than a single conversation, as when one office liaises with another to keep a project running smoothly. The word is common in business and official English, where a person may be given the specific job of keeping two sides in regular contact. It came into English from the French liaison, a link or connection, and kept that sense of joining two sides together rather than acting alone. Because it sounds businesslike, liaise appears far more often in memos and job descriptions than in casual conversation.
