What does CENTRE mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
The middle point of something, or a place where a particular activity is concentrated.
Centre is the standard British and Commonwealth spelling of the same word American English writes as center, both descending from the Latin word for a circle's pivot point. Beyond plain geometry, English extends the word to buildings and institutions built around a single purpose, such as a shopping centre, a sports centre, or a centre of learning, and to a middle playing position in team sports like football or hockey. As a verb it can mean to move something toward the middle or to make one topic the main subject of a discussion. The spelling with -re marks it clearly as British usage in international writing.
How CENTRE is used
Standard spelling in British, Irish, Australian and most Commonwealth English; American English prefers center instead.
