What does RALLY mean in Scrabble?
verb
To come together again after a setback in order to make a renewed, united effort; also used as a noun for a large public gathering, a motor-sport competition, or a sustained exchange of shots in tennis and similar sports.
A political party might rally around a new candidate after a period of internal conflict, drawing together supporters who had drifted apart and channelling their energy into a single renewed effort. Financial writers use the same verb when a falling stock market rallies and starts climbing again, an economic rally driven purely by figures rather than by any deliberate gathering of people. As a noun, a rally can also mean a mass meeting called to support a cause or a candidate, a competitive event in which cars race over closed public roads, or, in tennis and similar sports, a continuous exchange of shots before a point ends. All these senses share the underlying idea of drawing scattered energy or effort back into a single, renewed push.
