What does RASURE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicliterary
The act of scraping or rubbing something out; an erasure.
Rasure comes from a Latin verb meaning to shave or scrape, and clerks once used the word for a spot on a page where a knife or hard tool had physically removed ink or writing, long before correction fluid existed. Over time people began applying rasure more broadly, to the wiping out of a name from a record or even a memory from someone's mind. Rasure shares its root with erase, but it kept a stiffer, more old-fashioned flavor while its cousin became the everyday word. Today rasure survives chiefly in historical, legal, or literary writing rather than in ordinary conversation.
