What does BATCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A quantity of something made, processed or handled together as one group.
Batch describes any set of items produced or dealt with at the same time, from a batch of cookies taken out of the oven together to a batch of emails processed by a computer program in one run. The word is common in cooking, where a batch of bread or biscuits shares the same mixing and baking, and equally common in manufacturing and computing, where batch processing means running many similar jobs together rather than one at a time. Using batch usually implies that the items in the group share the same conditions, ingredients or timing, so comparing one batch with another is a natural way to talk about consistency. The related verb to batch means to group items together in this way before processing them.
