What does VACATE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To leave a place, post or position so that it becomes empty and available to someone else.
Vacate is what a tenant does at the end of a lease and what an official does when stepping down from an office, and in both cases the thing left behind is an opening for the next person. Courts also use the word for setting aside a ruling, which is why a judge can vacate a sentence without anyone moving out of anywhere. It comes from the Latin vacare, meaning to be empty.
