What does PURR mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make a low, continuous, vibrating sound in the throat, as a contented cat does.
A cat that is relaxed or pleased will purr softly, and the same word is used for other things that make a similarly smooth, rumbling sound, such as an engine that purrs quietly when it is running well. The sound is steady rather than sharp, which is why it also stands for anything running smoothly.
