What does RETAKE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To take something back, especially by force, or to sit a test or film a scene a second time.
The verb covers two quite different situations: an army that retakes a hill wins back ground it lost, while a student who must retake an exam sits it once more after failing. Film crews use retake for shooting a scene again, and the same word works as a noun for the repeated shot or the repeated test.
