What does ARMOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A protective covering, traditionally made of metal, leather, or plates, worn or fitted to shield the body or a vehicle from harm.
Historically, armor covered a soldier's body in plate, mail or scale to turn aside a blade, an arrow or a blow, and its design changed constantly as weapons grew more effective against it. The word later spread well beyond the battlefield, so that military vehicles and even personal attitudes can be described as having armor. American writers spell the word armor, while British and most Commonwealth writers keep the older armour, one of the clearest spelling forks between the two traditions.
