What does BREAD mean in Scrabble?
noun
A food made from flour or meal mixed with water or milk, usually leavened and baked.
Bread is old enough in English that it has become a stand-in for food and even money in general, as in earning one's bread. Nearly every culture has its own version, from flat unleavened rounds to heavily risen loaves, and the differences in grain, raising agent and oven are what separate one national bread from another. The verb to bread, meaning to coat something in crumbs before cooking, is a much later and unrelated development from the same noun.
How BREAD is used
Usually uncountable — bread, some bread, a loaf of bread — but countable when it means distinct kinds: several breads.
