dash
Small seasoning amount
Three seemingly unrelated nouns meet in dash.
A quick, short run or race is a dash.
A mark of punctuation longer than a hyphen, and with several specific uses, is a dash.
And a dash is short for dashboard, which is a panel in a vehicle holding instruments, or a similar panel on a web page where functions are arranged.
Dash is simpler as a verb; it means to run quickly, or to hit violently and forcefully: The storm dashed the ship against the rocks.
