What does WRACK mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
Seaweed or wreckage cast up on the shore, or ruin and destruction more generally.
Wrack most literally refers to seaweed and other debris that the tide leaves stranded along a beach, a sense still used by naturalists describing the shoreline. From that image of scattered wreckage, wrack extended into a broader literary sense of ruin or destruction, most familiar today in the fixed phrase wrack and ruin. The word is closely related to wreck, and the two were once used more interchangeably, though modern English keeps wrack mainly for the seaweed sense and the set phrase. Writers reach for wrack when they want an older, more evocative word for devastation than plain ruin or destruction.
