What does UPDART mean in Scrabble?
verb
poetic
To shoot or dash upward quickly.
The verb pictures something small and swift, such as a swallow, a flame or a fish, leaping up in a single sudden line. It is built from the adverb up and the verb dart, and it belongs to descriptive or poetic prose rather than to everyday talk. Because updart is so rare, most readers will recognise it only from the parts it is made of.
