What does WEAVE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To form fabric, a basket or another object by crossing threads or strips over and under one another; to move in a winding, side-to-side course.
In textile making, to weave means to interlace long threads on a loom so that they lock together into cloth, a process far older than mechanised spinning. The same verb also describes a very different kind of movement, as when a cyclist has to weave between parked cars or a story is said to weave several plots together. Basket makers weave reeds or willow strips in a similar over-and-under pattern to the way a weaver works thread on a loom. Both senses share the same underlying idea of crossing paths repeatedly to build something continuous, whether that is cloth, a path through traffic or a narrative.
