What does RIPEN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To become ripe, or to cause something to become ripe.
Ripen describes the natural process by which fruit, grain or vegetables develop their full color, flavor and sweetness as they mature on the plant. Warm weather and sunlight typically make crops ripen faster, which is why farmers watch the season closely before harvesting. The word also works figuratively, describing plans, ideas or friendships that grow toward completion over time, much as fruit ripens toward readiness. Ripen can be used both for the fruit that ripens on its own and for conditions, like heat or time, that ripen it.
