What does BOURSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
formal
A stock exchange, especially in a country outside the English-speaking world, such as the Bourse de Paris in France.
English borrowed bourse directly from French, where it originally named a market hall for merchants and financiers before coming to mean the stock exchange itself. Financial journalists still use bourse as a general word for any European stock exchange, much as Wall Street stands for the American one. The Paris bourse remains the best-known example, but writers also speak of the Frankfurt bourse, the Moscow bourse and others in the same way. In everyday English, however, most speakers simply say stock exchange rather than bourse.
