What does CELLAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A room or space built below ground level in a building, commonly used for storing wine, food, coal, or other goods.
A cellar sits beneath the main living space of a house and takes advantage of steady underground temperatures, which is why it has long been the preferred place to keep wine, root vegetables and other goods that spoil in heat or light. In older houses the cellar often held coal for heating, while in wine-producing regions the word can also refer to the collection of wine itself rather than the room. The related verb, to cellar something, means to store it in such a space, especially wine set aside to mature. Many cellars are unfinished and damp, in contrast to a basement, which is more often fitted out as usable living space.
How CELLAR is used
Common in everyday speech for the underground storage room of a house, and in wine trade language for a stock of wine set aside to age.
