What does RECUT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To cut something again, or to cut it in a new or different way.
Recut applies to trimming something a second time, as with hair or stone, and also to re-editing a finished piece of film into a new version. A director who orders a film recut is not filming new scenes but rearranging or removing existing footage. Jewelers use the word too, since a recut gem has been reshaped from its original cut to correct flaws or improve its brilliance. The prefix re- simply signals that the cutting is a repeat or revision of earlier work.
How RECUT is used
