What does UPSOAR mean in Scrabble?
verb
poetic
To fly or climb high into the air, as a bird, a flame or a voice might.
Upsoar is a rare poetic intensifier of soar, the extra up stressing the sense of lifting away from the ground. Writers reach for it when describing larks, rockets, prayers or music that seems to climb without effort. Because soar already points upward, the word survives mostly for rhythm and a slightly grand tone.
