What does STREAM mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, narrow river, or any continuous flow of water, air, people or things moving in one direction.
A stream is usually smaller than a river and is fed by springs, rain or melting snow, running downhill until it joins larger water. The word grows out of an old Germanic root for flowing, and it has since spread to anything that moves steadily, from a stream of traffic to a stream of questions. In computing it also names data delivered continuously, such as a video that plays while it downloads.
How STREAM is used
Used literally for brooks and creeks, and figuratively for any steady flow of people, words or data.
