What does RELOAD mean in Scrabble?
verb
To load something again, such as a weapon, a program, a web page, or a supply of material.
Reload is common whenever an activity that involves loading has to be repeated, and the exact meaning shifts with context. A soldier reloads a rifle by inserting a new magazine, a photographer once had to reload a camera with fresh film, and a computer user might reload a web page to fetch its most current version. In video games reload often names a mechanic where a spent weapon is refilled, and the word is used casually as slang for grabbing a fresh drink at a bar. Because loading covers so many physical and digital actions, reload has become one of the most flexible re- verbs in English.
