What does QUOTE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To repeat or copy out the exact words of another person, usually with acknowledgement of the source.
To quote someone is to reproduce their exact wording rather than paraphrase it, and the practice usually calls for quotation marks or clear attribution so readers know the words are borrowed. Writers quote sources to support an argument, journalists quote speakers to report what was actually said, and business use extends the word to citing a price for goods or services. Because quoting claims to preserve exact wording, changing even small details when repeating someone is generally treated as a serious error. The related noun quote refers to the borrowed passage or the stated price itself.
How QUOTE is used
Common in writing, journalism, academic work, and everyday business dealings such as price quotes.
