What does BRAND mean in Scrabble?
noun
A name, symbol, or design that identifies a particular maker's product and distinguishes it from others.
Long before it meant a company's identity, brand named the burning iron used to mark cattle, and the modern commercial sense is a direct extension of that older one: a maker burns its identity onto a product the way a rancher burns it onto a hide. The word still carries a trace of that origin in phrases like branded a liar, where the mark is figurative rather than commercial.
