What does BATMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A soldier assigned to act as the personal servant of a commissioned officer in the British forces.
A batman looked after his officer's uniform, quarters, meals and kit, and in wartime often went with him into the field. The word comes from an older sense of bat, a pack-saddle load, because the first batmen minded an officer's baggage and horses. The post is now largely abolished, though the word survives in military memoirs and fiction.
