What does PRONG mean in Scrabble?
noun
One of two or more pointed, spike-like parts of a fork, antler or similar forked object.
A dinner fork typically has three or four slender prongs designed to spear and lift food, and the same word describes the sharp points branching from a stag's antler or from a garden fork used for turning soil. Electrical plugs in many countries also have metal prongs that fit into the matching holes of a socket, so the word extends comfortably from cutlery into everyday electrical vocabulary. A device or argument described as having two prongs, as in a two-pronged approach, borrows the image of separate points working together toward the same end. The related verb prong, meaning to pierce or spear with a pointed object, appears far less often than the noun.
How PRONG is used
Common in everyday speech for the pointed parts of a fork, antler, plug or similar forked object, and in the idiom two-pronged.
- One prong of the old fork had bent out of shape.
- The stag lowered its head, showing every prong of its antlers.
- She checked that each prong of the plug was straight before use.
- A garden fork has four sturdy prongs for breaking up hard soil.
- The committee adopted a two-pronged strategy to cut costs.
