What does ATTIC mean in Scrabble?
noun
The space or room directly beneath the roof of a house, typically used for storage or converted into extra living space.
Because an attic sits under a sloped roof, its walls are often low and its shape irregular, which is why the space is more commonly used for storing boxes, old furniture, and decorations than for daily living. Many older attics were never insulated or floored properly, so converting one into a bedroom or office usually means adding both before it becomes comfortable. In classical architecture, the same word names something quite different: an attic story is a low decorative level built above the main cornice of a building, a sense that survives in the design of some grand public buildings.
How ATTIC is used
An everyday word for household storage space, with a separate technical sense in classical and neoclassical architecture.
