What does SETTLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To bring a dispute, an uncertain matter, or an account to a final, agreed conclusion.
Settle carries several related senses that all share the same core idea of coming to rest in a fixed and final state. It can describe ending an argument or legal claim, paying a bill, calming down after a disturbance, or founding a home in a new place. The word comes from Old English setl, meaning a seat, which explains why the oldest noun sense of settle names a wooden bench with a high back. Because the verb spans law, finance and everyday life, context usually makes clear which sense a speaker intends.
