What does CHAPEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small place of Christian worship, either a separate building or a room or recess with its own altar inside a larger church or institution.
The word goes back to the little shrine in which the cloak of Saint Martin was kept, and it has since come to mean any modest sanctuary. Schools, hospitals, prisons, castles and cathedrals often have a chapel, and funeral homes use the word for the room where a service is held. In British printing history a chapel was also the union branch within a newspaper or print shop.
