What does REBAIT mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To put fresh bait on a hook, in a trap, or in a net after the original bait has been used or lost.
Anglers and trappers rebait their gear whenever a catch takes the bait, the bait falls off, or too much time passes for it to still attract anything. The word simply adds the prefix re- to bait, following the same pattern as words like reload or rewind, so its meaning stays close to the plain sense of doing the action again. Rebait shows up mainly in fishing and trapping instructions rather than in general conversation.
