What does CHAIR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A separate seat for one person, usually having a back and four legs.
A chair differs from a bench or sofa mainly by being built for a single sitter, and its shape ranges from a plain kitchen chair to an ornate throne. The word also names the person who leads a meeting or organization, a sense that grew out of literally occupying the chair at the head of the table, so people speak of the chair of a committee without meaning furniture at all. Universities use chair for a professorship, as in holding the chair of history, again because the position was once tied to a specific seat. As a verb, to chair a meeting means to preside over it, directing who speaks and when.
