What does SECOND mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Coming directly after the first in order or time.
As an ordinal, second sits between first and third in any ranked line, and it also means another of the same kind, as in a second chance. The same spelling is a noun for a sixtieth part of a minute and a verb meaning to formally back a motion at a meeting. These senses grew from the Latin word for following, since the second one follows the first. In music and racing it names the place just behind the winner.
