What does REPEAL mean in Scrabble?
verb
To cancel a law or rule officially so that it no longer applies.
To repeal something is an act of a legislature or other authority, not of an ordinary citizen, and it wipes the measure off the books rather than merely ignoring it. The word is also a noun for the act itself, as in the repeal of a tax. It is built from the Old French rapeler, to call back, which is a fair picture of what happens to a law that is withdrawn.
