What does RANKLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To cause lasting bitterness or irritation, or to continue to annoy someone long after the event.
Something that rankles does not pass quickly: an unfair remark, a missed promotion or an old insult can sit in the mind for years. The verb comes from an older sense of a wound festering, and that picture of a sore that will not heal still colours it. It is usually used with the thing that causes the feeling as its subject.
