What does TABLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small flat object, such as a pill of compressed medicine, a slab bearing writing, or a handheld touchscreen computer.
The word has grown by borrowing the shape of its first meaning, a flat piece of stone, clay or wood for writing on. From that came the medicine tablet, a pressed disc of powder, and later the tablet computer, a flat screen without a keyboard. Context makes the meaning clear: a doctor means a pill, an archaeologist a clay slab, and a shop assistant a computer.
