What does RETAG mean in Scrabble?
verb
To attach a tag to something again, or to label or mark it a second time after an earlier tag was lost, wrong or out of date.
Warehouse staff, luggage handlers and photo-organising software all use this verb whenever an item's original label falls off, gets damaged or simply needs updating, since fixing a mistake usually means putting a fresh tag on rather than starting the whole identification process over. Children playing the schoolyard game of tag also use it loosely, agreeing that whoever is caught must retag someone else before the round continues. Retailers and shippers rely on the same word when a barcode or price tag has to be reprinted and reattached to a product.
How RETAG is used
Used in logistics, inventory, photo software and informally in children's tag games.
- Warehouse staff had to retag every mislabeled item.
- Players could retag anyone they had already tagged in the game.
- The airline agreed to retag the lost suitcase correctly.
- She retagged the photos with the right names.
- Volunteers retagged wildlife specimens after the storm damaged the labels.
