What does REPAIR mean in Scrabble?
verb
To fix something that is broken, worn or damaged so that it works or looks right again.
The commonest sense of repair is mending an object, a machine or a relationship. An older meaning, now literary, is to go somewhere, as in repairing to the drawing room after dinner, and it comes from a different Latin source than the mending sense. As a noun it covers both the act of mending and the condition of an object, as in "in good repair".
