What does ROLL mean in Scrabble?
verb
To move along a surface by turning over and over, as a ball or wheel does.
Something that rolls keeps one edge in contact with the ground while turning continuously forward, unlike sliding, where contact stays fixed. Coins, barrels and dice all move this way when pushed. The verb also extends to actions that resemble this motion, such as a ship rolling in rough seas.
