What does SURGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sudden powerful forward or upward movement, or a sudden large increase.
A surge describes a swell of energy or activity that rises quickly and often just as quickly subsides, as when a crowd surges toward an exit or a river surges over its banks. The same word applies to a sudden jump in numbers, so prices, electricity, or demand can all show a surge. In every sense the core idea is a rapid, forceful rise rather than a slow or steady change.
How SURGE is used
Used for sudden physical movement, as in waves or crowds, and for a sudden increase in numbers, prices, or electrical current.
