What does RASE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicliterary
To destroy something completely by knocking or scraping it down to the ground; to raze, or to scratch a surface lightly.
Rase is an older spelling of raze, used when a building, wall, or town is torn down until nothing is left standing, and it was also used for the lighter action of scratching or grazing a surface, or striking through a written line to erase it. Modern writers almost always use raze instead, so rase is met mainly in older texts.
