What does CAMBER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A slight upward curve in the middle of a surface, such as a road, beam or deck, so that the centre stands higher than the edges.
Road builders give a road a camber so that rainwater runs off to the sides instead of pooling in the middle. The word is used far beyond roads: shipwrights speak of the camber of a deck, engineers of a beam bent slightly upward, and motorists of the tilt of a wheel in or out at the top. In the verb form it means to build or bend something with such a curve.
