What does UPGROW mean in Scrabble?
verb
rarearchaic
To grow up, advancing to maturity or rising in height as a plant does.
This is an old-fashioned verb that puts the idea of upward growth into one word. Poets used it for trees and children alike, and its past tense upgrew shows up in verse where an object rises slowly before the eye. Today the two-word phrase grow up has taken over, so upgrow lives on chiefly in word games.
