What does RAREFY mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make something thinner or less dense, or to become so.
Scientists use rarefy for air or gas that grows thin, with fewer particles filling the same space, which is what happens high up in the mountains. The word also works figuratively: to rarefy an idea is to make it more refined, subtle or remote from ordinary life. The adjective rarefied is much more common than the verb and often suggests an exclusive or very intellectual atmosphere.
