What does AGENT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person or thing that acts on behalf of another, or that produces a particular effect or change.
An agent can be a person hired to represent someone else's interests, such as a literary agent negotiating book deals or a travel agent booking a trip, always acting with some degree of authority granted by the person they represent. In chemistry, biology, and other sciences, agent instead names a substance or force that causes something to happen, as in a cleaning agent that removes stains or a bleaching agent that lightens color. Government and espionage contexts add a third common sense, where an agent works secretly to gather information or carry out tasks for an organization.
