What does UNCAP mean in Scrabble?
verb
To remove a cap, lid, or cover from something; also, to lift a legal or regulatory limit on a price, rate, or amount.
To uncap something usually means physically taking off a lid or cover, as when someone uncaps a pen, a bottle, or a chemical container before using it. The word extends into regulation and economics, where a government or company can uncap a price, fee, or interest rate that had previously been held under a legal ceiling. Photographers and lab technicians also uncap lenses or vials as a routine first step before starting work. In every sense, to uncap reverses the act of capping, whether the cap is a literal lid or a figurative limit.
