What does RESILE mean in Scrabble?
verb
formal
To draw back from a position, promise, or agreement, or to spring back to an original shape after being stretched or compressed.
Resile has two related uses. In law and formal writing, a party resiles from a contract, a statement, or a previously held position when it withdraws or goes back on what it agreed or said, often under pressure or after reconsidering. In a more physical sense, borrowed from the same idea of springing back, a material such as rubber is said to resile when it returns to its original shape after being pulled or squeezed. The legal sense is the one most often seen in print, particularly in reports of contract disputes or diplomatic negotiations. Because it sounds formal, everyday speech almost always prefers plainer alternatives such as back out or go back on.
How RESILE is used
Chiefly formal or legal, describing withdrawal from an agreement or stance rather than everyday backing out.
