The phrase "from scratch" also means to do something without using anything that existed before: "He built up this business from scratch more than 15 years ago." A "scratch" is a small cut in one's skin: "Did you get those scratches from your cat?" A "scratch" can also be a small or shallow mark on a surface: "When they moved the heavy refrigerator, it left scratches on the wood floor." Finally, "scratch paper" is a piece of paper that has already been used on one side and is used again to write a short note or for something else that is unimportant: "Do you have a piece of scratch paper where you can write down my phone number?"
