What does PROVE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To demonstrate the truth or existence of something by evidence, argument, or test.

The word also describes situations turning out a certain way over time, as when a decision proves wise only after events confirm it. In baking, dough is left to prove, meaning to rise, before it goes into the oven, a much older sense connected to testing whether the yeast is active. Across all these uses, prove centres on turning something uncertain into something confirmed.
