What does CENT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small coin or monetary unit worth one hundredth of a larger unit such as a dollar or euro.
Many currencies divide their main unit into a hundred smaller parts, and cent is the common name for that small part, both for the coin itself and for the amount of money it represents. The word also appears inside the phrase per cent, meaning out of every hundred, which shows the same idea of a hundredth part used more generally.
