What does VOLUME mean in Scrabble?
noun
The amount of space that something takes up or contains, measured in units such as litres or cubic metres.
The word began as the Latin name for a scroll, a rolled-up book, and that older sense survives when we speak of a bound book that is one part of a larger set. From there it stretched to mean the bulk of anything, and then the quantity or loudness of something, as in the volume of traffic or the volume knob on a radio. Which meaning is intended usually depends on the neighbouring words: a volume of poems is a book, while the volume of a jar is its capacity.
How VOLUME is used
Used in everyday speech, science and publishing; the context tells you whether it means capacity, loudness or a book.
