What does REDATE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To change the date on something, replacing an original date with a new one.
Redate is most often used for documents, letters, and records, where someone assigns a new date to replace or correct the original one, sometimes to fix a genuine mistake and sometimes to make a paper appear to have been written on a different day. Archivists and lawyers treat redating carefully, since a changed date can affect a deadline, a contract, or a claim about when something was really written. The same word occasionally describes resuming a romantic relationship after a break, redating a former partner.
