What does RESET mean in Scrabble?
verb
To set something again, especially returning a device, system, or plan to an earlier or original state.
Reset is used constantly with machines and electronics, from resetting a password to resetting a router that has stopped working properly. Beyond technology, people also reset plans, goals, or relationships, meaning they start again from a clear point rather than continuing along a troubled path. A broken bone can likewise be reset by a doctor, who puts the pieces back into their correct position. The word combines re- with set, and its exact meaning always depends on what is being put back in order.

Extremely common in everyday and technical speech, especially about devices, plans, and medical treatment of bones.
