What does TIDED mean in Scrabble?
verb
nautical
To have drifted along with, or as if with, the tide, especially in the phrase tided over, meaning to get through a difficult period.
Sailors once used tided to describe a ship that worked its way in or out of harbour by riding the movement of the tide itself rather than under full sail or engine power. The same word broadened into everyday speech through the phrase tided over, meaning someone got through a shortage or hardship until conditions improved.
