What does RATIFY mean in Scrabble?
verb
formal
To give formal approval to an agreement, treaty or decision so that it becomes officially valid.
Negotiators may agree on the wording of a treaty, but it takes effect only once the proper body ratifies it, often a parliament, a council or the members of an organisation. The word suggests a final confirmation of something already drafted rather than the drafting itself. Ratification can fail, and a refusal to ratify sends the parties back to the table.

- The senate voted to ratify the treaty on Tuesday.
