What does REPIN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To pin something again, or to fasten it back in place with a pin.
Repin is a straightforward re- formation from pin, describing the act of putting a pin back where it has come loose, whether in sewing, dressmaking or simple household repair. A seamstress might repin a hem after checking that it hangs evenly, undoing and refastening the pins rather than sewing anything new. The word can also describe refastening a badge, a brooch or any object normally held in place with a pin. Nothing about repin implies a different arrangement, only that the same kind of fastening is being redone.
How REPIN is used
