What does STOKE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To feed and stir up a fire, furnace, or stove so that it burns more strongly.
A worker who stokes a furnace shovels in fuel and adjusts the fire so that it keeps burning hot and steady, a task once central to steam engines and old-fashioned heating systems. Beyond literal fires, English speakers now commonly stoke feelings, interest, or conflict, as in a rumor that stokes fear or a rivalry stoked by years of losses. The informal phrase stoked, meaning excited or enthusiastic, grew out of this same idea of building something up to a high level. A person who tends a fire for a living was traditionally called a stoker.
