What does RETURN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To come or go back to a place, situation or condition that one has left before.
People return home after a trip, return to work after an illness, or return to an old habit after trying to give it up, and in each case the word marks a movement back to somewhere or something already known. Return also covers giving something back, as when a shopper returns a faulty item to a store, or answering in kind, as when someone returns a smile or a favor. In sport, tennis players return a serve by hitting the ball back across the net, and in law or business a report or profit is said to be returned to the person or office that is owed it. Despite covering so many situations, every sense keeps the same core idea of something moving back toward its starting point.
How RETURN is used
Extremely common in everyday, business, legal and sporting contexts wherever something goes, comes or is given back.
