What does NIMBLE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Quick and light in movement, or quick and clever in thought.
Nimble suggests ease and lightness more than raw speed: a nimble climber seems to skip across the rock, and nimble fingers move over a keyboard without effort. The word is also used for minds and for organisations that react to change without delay. It goes back to an Old English root meaning quick to take hold, which is why it is linked to deft handling.
