What does RECALL mean in Scrabble?
verb
To bring a fact, memory, or past event back into the mind, or to officially call someone or something back.
Recall covers two related actions: pulling a memory back into conscious thought, and formally summoning someone or something that had been sent away. A witness might recall a face from years earlier, while a government can recall an ambassador or a company can recall a faulty product to fix it. The memory sense focuses on mental retrieval, whereas the official sense focuses on bringing a person or item physically back. Both uses share the same root idea of calling something back toward its origin.
