What does CASERN mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A barracks or building used to house soldiers, especially in a garrison town.
European fortified towns once set aside a casern near the ramparts so troops could reach the walls quickly whenever an attack began, keeping the garrison close to the defences it protected. Older military accounts describe daily life inside a casern: parade drills at dawn, cramped shared rooms, and stores of arms and equipment kept under one roof. The variant spelling caserne, borrowed directly from French, appears just as often in older English military writing as casern itself.
How CASERN is used
A historical military term for soldiers' quarters, largely replaced by barracks in modern English.
