What does SCOOT mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To go or leave somewhere quickly, especially in a hurried or informal way.
To scoot somewhere means to move off fast, usually without much ceremony, whether that means a child scooting off to school or a driver scooting through a gap in traffic before it closes. The word carries a light, informal tone, closer to dash or scurry than to a neutral word such as leave, and parents often use it as a gentle command telling children to hurry along. A scooter takes its name from the same root, a vehicle built for scooting quickly from place to place with a simple push or small engine. As a noun, a scoot can also describe the act of sliding along in a sitting position, as when someone scoots over on a bench to make room for another person.
