What does RUSTLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make a soft crackling sound, like that of dry leaves or paper rubbing together, or to steal cattle.
Rustle is at heart an imitative word, its sound mimicking the soft crackle of dry leaves, paper, or silk brushing against each other. Wind through a cornfield or a hand searching through old letters both rustle in this everyday sense. A completely separate use grew up in the American West, where to rustle cattle meant to round them up and drive them off illegally, and a rustler became the general word for such a thief. The two meanings sit side by side in modern dictionaries without any real connection beyond the shared spelling.
How RUSTLE is used
The sound sense is common in everyday description; the cattle-theft sense is mainly historical, tied to the American West.
