What does REGEAR mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To change gear again, or to adjust and reorganize something so that it fits a new purpose or situation.
Regear applies literally to machinery, describing the act of shifting a mechanism back into gear or refitting it with new gearing, and figuratively to plans, businesses, or efforts that must be readjusted to match changed conditions. A factory might regear its production line for a new product, just as a mechanical part regears when it engages properly with another again. The figurative sense has become the more common one in modern writing about strategy and organization.
