What does POLISH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To rub a surface until it becomes smooth and shiny, or to improve something by careful finishing work.
People polish shoes, silver and floors with a cloth, and they polish a speech or an essay by going over it again to remove rough spots. The noun polish means both the shine achieved and the paste or liquid used to get it.
