What does RENAIL mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To nail something again, especially to fix a nail or fastening that has come loose.
Renail is a plain combination of re- and nail, used when a board, fence panel or shingle whose fastening has worked loose needs to be nailed back down rather than replaced outright. Builders and carpenters use it as a quick, informal term for this small repair, distinguishing it from more thorough work such as replacing the timber itself. The word carries no meaning beyond driving a nail into something a second time, unlike the many figurative senses of the base word nail. It remains rare in dictionaries and is mostly understood from context rather than commonly looked up.
