What does REEARN mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To earn something again, especially after having lost or spent it.
A manager might say an employee has to reearn the team's confidence after a mistake, meaning the earlier trust no longer counts and fresh effort is required to build it back up from nothing. The word turns up most often in writing about reputation, loyalty or a bonus that has to be won afresh each period, rather than in casual conversation. Many writers prefer to spell the same idea out as two words or hyphenate it as re-earn, so reearn as a single unbroken word is the less common of the two spellings, though dictionaries record both. It adds nothing to the base verb beyond marking that the effort is being repeated from scratch.
