What does POLICY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A settled plan or principle of action followed by a government, business or person, or a written insurance contract.
In public life a policy is the line a government or organisation has chosen to follow, such as a policy on taxes, schools or hiring. Individuals use the word for personal rules too, as in a policy of never lending money to friends. A different meaning belongs to insurance, where the policy is the document that sets out what the insurer will cover and under what conditions. The two senses share a root idea of a guiding arrangement made in advance.
