What does READD mean in Scrabble?
verb
To add something again after it was removed or left out.
To readd an item is to put it back into a list, document or total after it was taken away, so the word always implies an earlier removal that the second action undoes or reverses. It turns up most often in editing and record-keeping, where a name, a line of text or a figure that was deleted by mistake needs to be entered a second time to restore the original state. Because the word is built simply from re- and add, it stays close to that plain meaning and carries none of the extra shades of sense that some other re- words pick up.
How READD is used
A plain, functional word met mainly in editing, bookkeeping and record-keeping contexts rather than in ordinary conversation.
