What does SEGUE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To move smoothly and without interruption from one topic, activity, or piece of music into another.
A speaker, writer, or musician segues by ending one section so smoothly that it flows directly into the next, without an abrupt stop or an awkward pause. The word began in music, instructing a performer to continue at once into the following passage, but it quickly spread to conversation, broadcasting, and film editing. A radio host might segue from a news story into a related song, or a comedian might segue from one joke into the next through a shared idea. As a noun, a segue is the smooth transition itself, the bridge that links one thing to the next.
How SEGUE is used
Common in everyday and media English for any smooth transition, and in music for moving directly from one passage to the next.
- The host managed to segue from the weather report into the sports news.
