What does TOUCH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make physical contact with something or someone, typically using the hand or fingers; more broadly, to come into contact with, affect emotionally, or briefly deal with a subject.
To touch is first of all to bring a part of the body, usually the hand, into contact with something else, whether gently feeling a fabric or accidentally brushing against a stranger on a crowded train. The word extends easily beyond the physical: a story can touch someone emotionally, two roads can touch at a junction, and a speaker can touch on a subject without discussing it fully. Touch also names the sense itself, the one used to feel texture, pressure and temperature through the skin. Because it covers contact of almost any kind, physical or figurative, touch is one of the most flexible verbs in everyday English.
How TOUCH is used
Extremely common in everyday speech, used for literal physical contact, emotional effect, and briefly mentioning a topic.
