What does SPLIT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To divide or break something into two or more parts, or to separate, share or divide something between two or more people.
To split a log means to cleave it apart along its grain, usually with an axe or a single sharp blow, leaving two solid pieces where one stood before. Friends who split a restaurant bill are dividing the cost evenly, each covering an equal portion rather than paying for the whole meal alone. A couple or a group can split as well, drifting apart or ending a partnership altogether, as when a band splits up after years of working together. As a noun, a split names either that division itself, a split in opinion, or the gymnastic pose in which a person's legs stretch flat in opposite directions, known as doing the splits.
