What does PLUNGE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To jump, dive or push something quickly and forcefully into water or another substance, or to fall or drop suddenly and steeply.
A plunge is a decisive movement downward or inward: a swimmer plunges into a lake, a knife is plunged into dough, and a stock price can plunge in a single afternoon. The word also carries the idea of committing oneself without hesitation, as in plunging into a new job. It came into English from Old French plonger, which shares a root with the Latin word for lead, plumbum, the weight that sinks.
