What does ONRUSH mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
A strong, sudden forward movement of people, water or events.
An onrush carries the sense of something that cannot easily be stopped once it has begun, such as a flood, a charging crowd or a wave of feeling. Writers favour the word for both physical and figurative surges, as in an onrush of grief or an onrush of new technology. It is built from on and rush, so the direction of the movement is part of the word itself.
