What does RATTLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make, or cause something to make, a rapid series of short, sharp knocking sounds, or to unsettle someone by making them nervous.
A loose window pane, a chain being dragged, or a nearly empty box of nails will all rattle in the same basic sense, producing quick, clattering sounds as hard parts knock against each other. From this literal noise the word extended to people: to rattle someone is to fluster or unnerve them, often by catching them off guard, so a rattled witness is one who has lost composure. A related sense describes talking quickly and at length without much substance, as when someone rattles on about a subject. The related noun names both the sound itself and the child's toy that produces it when shaken.
