What does PHASE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A distinct stage or period in a process of change or development.
A phase marks off one part of something that unfolds over time, whether that is the phases of the moon, the phases of a building project, or a phase a child goes through while growing up. The word suggests that what comes before and after looks different, even though the whole sequence belongs to one continuous process. As a verb, to phase something in or out means to introduce or remove it gradually rather than all at once. Both uses share the same idea of change happening in defined, successive steps.
How PHASE is used
Very common in everyday and technical writing alike, from astronomy and engineering to ordinary talk about stages of life.
- The moon moves through several phases in about a month.
- The building project entered its final phase in early spring.
