What does SCURRY mean in Scrabble?
verb
To run with quick, short steps, usually because of haste or alarm.
Small animals and busy people are the usual subjects when we say that something will scurry, since the word suggests light feet and a sense of urgency. It is probably a blend of hurry and scour, and it gave English the noun scurry, meaning a bustle of hurried movement or a flurry of rain or snow. Unlike dash, the verb implies many small steps rather than one long burst.
