What does HARBOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A sheltered stretch of water beside the coast where ships can anchor or tie up safely.
A natural harbor forms where land curves round the water, while many others are made safe by walls and breakwaters built out into the sea. Ships load, unload and wait out storms there, so towns with a good harbor often grew into trading centers. The word is also used figuratively for any place of refuge, and as a verb it means to give shelter to someone or to nurse a feeling such as a grudge.
