What does CICERO mean in Scrabble?
noun
printing
A unit of type size used in continental European printing, equal to twelve Didot points.
The cicero measures about 4.5 millimetres and is slightly larger than the English pica, which makes it the European counterpart of that familiar unit. Printers on the Continent used it to state the width of a column or the height of a line of type, much as others used the pica. The name is said to come from an early edition of the letters of the Roman orator, set in a type of this size.
