What does UPREAR mean in Scrabble?
verb
poetic
To lift or set something upright, or to rise up into view.
Uprear puts the older sense of rear, meaning to raise, together with the direction up, and the result is a stately word found mostly in verse. Poets use it for things that lift themselves into sight, such as heads, towers or banners, and it often carries a note of menace or grandeur. In plain modern speech a writer would simply say raise or lift.
