What does RAVISH mean in Scrabble?
verb
literary
To fill someone with intense delight, or, in older usage, to seize and carry off by force.
In modern writing ravish most often means to enchant, as when a performance or a landscape ravishes the people who see it. The adjective ravishing, meaning strikingly beautiful, comes from this sense and is far more common than the verb. The older meaning of snatching away by violence survives in historical and poetic texts, and it is the reason the word now feels slightly formal and old-fashioned.
