What does UNCAGE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To let a captive animal out of its cage, or to free something that has been held back.
Used of a bird, a lion or a pet, uncage describes the plain act of opening the door and letting the creature go. It also works as a figure of speech for releasing a feeling, a talent or a pent-up crowd, as when a team is said to uncage its offence. Writers like the image because a cage implies both confinement and the force waiting behind the bars.
