What does YIELD mean in Scrabble?
verb
To produce or supply something, such as a crop, profit, or result, or to give way under pressure or authority.
A farmer expects a field to yield a certain amount of grain, an investment can yield interest over time, and a chemical reaction can yield a particular compound. In a different sense, a driver must yield to oncoming traffic, and a person may yield to pressure or temptation, meaning they give in rather than resist. Both senses share the idea of something being given up or given out, whether that is a harvest, a profit, or the right of way.
