What does ATRIUM mean in Scrabble?
noun
A central hall open to the sky or covered by a glazed roof, found in ancient Roman houses and in many modern public buildings, or one of the two upper cavities of the heart.
In an ancient Roman house, the atrium formed the main entrance hall, often open at the center to let in light and rain that collected in a shallow pool below. Modern architects revived the idea, and today an atrium commonly rises through several floors of a hotel, office building or shopping center, flooding the space with natural light. The word also names each of the two upper cavities of the heart, the right atrium receiving blood from the body and the left atrium receiving blood from the lungs. Despite the very different settings, both uses of atrium describe a cavity positioned to receive something before passing it further inward.
How ATRIUM is used
Used both in architecture for a central hall and in anatomy for an upper chamber of the heart; context usually makes the intended sense clear.
