What does REARM mean in Scrabble?
verb
To arm again, especially by acquiring or building up a new supply of weapons.
A country or army that decides to rearm is replacing weapons it has lost, used up or scrapped, or upgrading old ones with newer equipment, usually after a period of disarmament or defeat. The word is most familiar from twentieth-century history, where nations that had reduced their militaries after one war began to rearm in the years before the next, often provoking alarm among their neighbours. On a smaller scale, the same word can describe an individual soldier reloading a weapon, though the national or military sense of whole forces rearming is by far the more common one in modern use.

Most common in military, political and historical writing about nations building up their armed forces again.
