What does RETINT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To apply a tint again, giving a color, dye or shade a fresh application.
Hairdressers retint hair when the dye has faded or grown out at the roots and the client wants the original shade restored rather than a whole new color chosen. Photographers and printers also retint an image when they adjust its color balance a second time, often after an earlier tint looked too pale or too strong. The word simply adds the prefix re- to tint, so it always implies that some coloring was done before and is now being redone or refreshed. It differs from dyeing from scratch in that retinting usually aims to match or restore an existing shade rather than start with a completely new one.
How RETINT is used
