What does CLOCK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A device, usually fixed in place, that shows or measures the passage of time.
A clock differs from a watch mainly in that a watch is made to be worn or carried, while a clock stays on a wall, a shelf, a tower or another set spot. Clocks have taken many forms across history, from weight-driven mechanisms in church towers to quartz movements in ordinary kitchens and digital displays built into phones and computers. Because a clock is meant to be read from a distance or at a glance, its face or display is usually kept clear and simple. The word also appears in phrases such as against the clock, meaning under pressure of limited time.
