What does TEMPLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A building set apart for the worship of a god or gods, or the flat part of the head beside the eye.

As a part of the body, the temple is the area between the eye and the ear, where a pulse can often be felt, and it is also the name of the arm of a pair of glasses that rests there.
