What does QUAKE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To shake or tremble violently, especially from fear, cold, or the movement of the ground.
A person can quake with fear before a difficult meeting, and the ground itself can quake when an earthquake strikes, so the word covers both a bodily reaction and a geological event. Because of this second sense, the word quake is also used on its own as a shortened form of earthquake.
