What does SCULP mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To shape a material such as stone, wood, or clay into a figure or design by carving, cutting, or moulding.
Sculp is an older, shortened form of sculpture used as a verb, and today it turns up mainly in older writing or as a deliberately casual way of saying the same thing as sculpt. Both words describe the same action of removing or shaping material to create a three-dimensional work, whether a statue, a relief, or a small figurine. Modern writing favours sculpt, so meeting sculp usually signals either an older text or a slightly informal, playful tone.
