What does BROOM mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long-handled brush of stiff bristles or twigs used for sweeping floors and other surfaces; also, a flowering shrub with slender green branches and small yellow flowers.
A household broom traditionally gathers dust and debris into a pile for a dustpan, its bundle of stiff fibers doing roughly the job a vacuum cleaner performs today, but without any moving parts or electricity. The plant called broom shares its name with the tool for a good historical reason, since people once cut the shrub's long, springy branches and bound them together to make an actual sweeping broom. Folklore and popular imagination pair the household broom with witches flying through the night sky, an association so familiar that a broom appears as a stock prop at Halloween without any need for explanation. Curling players use yet another kind of broom, sweeping the ice ahead of a moving stone to control its speed and path, a specialized sporting use quite far removed from either cleaning or gardening.
How BROOM is used
Extremely common in everyday speech and writing, used for the household sweeping tool, the flowering shrub, and, more narrowly, the sweeping implement used in curling.
