What does REDYE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To dye (a fabric, garment, or material) again, usually to restore or change its colour.
People redye a faded piece of clothing when the original colour has worn thin from washing and sunlight, rather than replacing the item outright. Dyers sometimes redye a garment a completely different shade, using a darker colour to cover an uneven or stained first dye job. Because natural fibers such as cotton and wool take dye more evenly than synthetics, they are usually easier to redye successfully. The word simply adds the prefix re- to the ordinary verb dye, and it stays close to that plain meaning in everyday use.
