What does AERIAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Existing, happening, or moving in the air, or relating to aircraft.
An aerial view looks down on the ground from a height, and an aerial attack comes from planes rather than from soldiers on the ground. The word also survives as a noun in British English, where an aerial is the rod or wire that receives radio and television signals, a sense that grew out of the same idea of something reaching up into the air. Both senses share the same root idea of belonging to the sky rather than the ground.

Common in both everyday and technical writing; the noun sense for a television or radio receiver is chiefly British.
