What does MISLAY mean in Scrabble?
verb
To put something somewhere and then be unable to remember where, so that it is temporarily lost.
To mislay an object is gentler than to lose it, because the thing is assumed to be still around and likely to turn up. People mislay keys, glasses and phones in their own homes. The sense of a careless slip is built into the word, and it is a polite way to describe a minor lapse of memory.
