What does CAVITY mean in Scrabble?
noun
An empty space or hollow inside a solid object or a mass; also a decayed hole in a tooth.
A cavity can be natural, such as the space inside the chest or a cave in a hillside, or it can be made by decay, wear or digging. To most people the word first suggests the dentist, because a hole eaten into a tooth is the most familiar kind. Builders also speak of a cavity wall, which is made of two layers with an air gap left between them.
