What does ALBUM mean in Scrabble?
noun
A collection of musical recordings released together, or a book with blank pages used to hold photographs, stamps, or similar items.
An album groups related material into a single package so that it can be experienced or stored as a whole rather than piece by piece. A music album usually presents a set of songs chosen and ordered by the artist, while a photo album keeps pictures organized in one place for easy viewing. The word entered English from Latin, where it originally referred to a blank tablet or board, and it kept the sense of something meant to hold a collection.
