What does FANNER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person or device that fans, especially a machine with rotating blades that blows air to winnow grain or cool a space.
The word is built plainly from fan, and so it serves for anyone who sets air in motion, from a servant waving a palm leaf to a farm machine that cleans grain by sending a current through it. In older agricultural writing the machine sense is the one most often met, and a fanner stood in many barns beside the threshing floor.
