What does STOP mean in Scrabble?
verb
To bring movement, action, or an ongoing process to an end.
To stop something is to make it cease, whether it is a moving car, a piece of music, or a habit a person is trying to break. The same word works as a noun for the place where a bus or train pauses to let people on and off, and for a punctuation mark at the end of a sentence in British English. Across these uses, stop always marks the point where something that was continuing comes to a halt.
