What does PHASIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A distinct stage or aspect of a changing process, especially the first visible appearance of the new moon.
Phasis is the older, Greek-shaped singular behind the everyday plural phases, and astronomers once used it for the moment a thin crescent first shows after the dark of the moon. In wider writing it can also mean one particular face of a question or movement. Today the plain word phase has taken over almost every job it once did.
