What does SPARK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small fiery particle thrown off by burning material, friction, or an electrical discharge.
A spark is created when tiny fragments of burning matter are thrown into the air, when two hard surfaces rub or strike together, or when electricity jumps a small gap, as it does in a car engine or a lighter. Because a single spark can ignite dry grass, fuel vapour or gunpowder, fire safety rules pay close attention to controlling them near flammable material. The word is also used figuratively for a small sign that starts something larger, such as a spark of interest or a spark of rebellion. Both the literal flash and the figurative beginning share the same idea of something small setting off something bigger.
How SPARK is used
Used both literally for fire and electricity and figuratively for the small beginning of an idea, argument or emotion.
