1. 1

    Scrub means to rub something hard, usually with a brush and soap or water, to clean it well — 'scrub the pot' or 'scrub the floor.' Doctors and nurses 'scrub in' before surgery, meaning they wash their hands and arms very thoroughly. 'Scrub' can also mean to cancel a plan completely, especially in space or technical work — 'the launch was scrubbed' means it was called off. As a noun, 'scrub' also means low, rough plants and bushes in dry land.
