What does BERTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fixed sleeping bunk on a ship, train, or other vehicle; also, the place where a ship is moored, or a position secured within an organization or event.
A berth most literally names the sleeping space assigned to a passenger on an overnight train or ship, often a narrow bunk built into the wall of a cabin or compartment. The word also names the specific spot where a ship docks or anchors, so that harbor staff assign each vessel its own berth along the wharf. Beyond travel, berth extends figuratively to any secured position or place, as when a team earns a berth in a championship tournament or an employee settles into a comfortable berth at a company. The old phrase to give something a wide berth, meaning to keep a safe distance from it, comes directly from the nautical sense of steering well clear of another ship's space.
