Brainstorms are a creative process used to generate IDEAS and solutions to problems. The term 'brainstorms' is composed of two words: 'ideates' (7 letters) and 'IDEAS' (5 letters). Ideates means to form an idea or plan, while IDEAS are thoughts or concepts that can be used to solve a problem. Brainstorms involve the generation of multiple IDEAS in a short period of time, often through group discussion. This process can be used to come up with new products, services, or solutions to existing problems.
