The verb "scratch" in the English language refers to the action of scraping or rubbing a surface, typically with a sharp or rough object, to remove material, relieve an itch, or make a mark. It is commonly used to describe the act of using one's fingernails or an implement to lightly cut or scrape the skin or another surface. The term can also metaphorically imply starting something from the very beginning without any prior preparation or resources, as in "starting from scratch." The versatility of the verb allows it to be applied in various contexts, ranging from physical actions to more abstract uses.
