What does RECAST mean in Scrabble?
verb
To cast something again in a different form, or to assign different actors to the roles of a play or film.
Recast covers two common uses: metalworkers recast a damaged object by melting it down and pouring it into a new mold, and directors recast a play or film by replacing one or more of the original actors. Beyond these literal senses, writers also recast an argument or a sentence, meaning they restate it in a clearer or different form. In every case, recast implies that something existing is reshaped rather than built entirely from scratch.
How RECAST is used
Used literally for metal objects and theatrical roles, and figuratively for restating an argument or plan.
