What does SHARP mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having a thin cutting edge or fine point, capable of cutting or piercing easily; also, quick to notice, understand or react, or sudden and intense.
Sharp originally describes a blade, needle or edge fine enough to cut or pierce with little effort, the opposite of blunt. From that physical sense the word extended to the mind, so that a sharp person notices details quickly and a sharp answer is quick-witted or cutting in tone. It also describes sensations and changes that are sudden or intense, such as a sharp pain, a sharp turn in the road, or a sharp drop in temperature. In music, sharp names a note raised by a semitone, a specialized sense that developed separately from the everyday meanings.
How SHARP is used
Very common in everyday speech, covering physical edges, mental quickness, sudden change and, in music, a raised note.
