What does TRENCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long, narrow ditch dug into the ground, often to hold pipes, drain water or shelter soldiers.
In everyday use a trench is any cut in the earth that is much longer than it is wide, whether a farmer digs it for drainage or a utility crew digs it for cable. The word is best known from the First World War, when armies on the Western Front lived and fought in lines of trenches for years. Oceanographers borrowed it for the deep, steep-sided valleys in the sea floor, and the same word also works as a verb meaning to dig such a cut.
