What does PLASH mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
A light splashing sound, or the small pool or puddle made by such a splash.
Plash describes the soft sound water makes when gently disturbed, for instance by a dropped stone, an oar or rain falling into standing water, and by extension it can name the little puddle left behind afterwards. The word has a distinctly literary, slightly old-fashioned feel, appearing more often in poetry and descriptive prose than in ordinary conversation. As a verb, to plash means to create exactly this kind of gentle splashing. A separate, unrelated craft use of the word describes bending and weaving hedge branches together, sometimes spelled plash or pleach in gardening writing.
