What does PEDAL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A lever operated by the foot, used to control or power a machine such as a bicycle, car, or musical instrument.
A pedal converts the push of a foot into motion or force somewhere else in a machine, whether that means driving a bicycle's chain, pressing a car's brake or accelerator, or shaping the sound of a piano through its sustain and soft pedals. Many machines use pedals precisely because they free the hands for other tasks, letting a driver steer while braking or a musician play the keys while shaping the tone with their feet. The word also works as a verb, as when a cyclist pedals up a hill, showing how naturally the noun turned into an action. Bicycles typically pair two pedals working in opposite rotation, while a piano or car may use several pedals for different functions.
How PEDAL is used
Common in everyday speech, referring to foot-operated levers on bicycles, vehicles, and musical instruments.
