What does UNLOAD mean in Scrabble?
verb
To remove goods, cargo or a load from a vehicle, ship or container, or, more generally, to get rid of something unwanted.
The everyday sense of unload covers taking suitcases out of a car, boxes off a truck or cargo from a ship, and it is one of the first words people reach for when describing that physical task. The same word extends easily into figurative use, as when someone unloads worries onto a friend, unloads a gun by removing its ammunition, or unloads unwanted stock at a discount. Because it describes such a common action, unload has stayed in everyday use far more than older synonyms such as unlade.
