What does REDIP mean in Scrabble?
verb
To dip something again into a liquid or substance after an earlier dipping.

Candle makers, for example, redip a wick again and again to build up successive layers of wax until the candle reaches the desired thickness. The word stays close to its plain, literal meaning and rarely takes on a figurative sense the way some other re- verbs do.
