What does CLOSET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small room or built-in cupboard used for storing clothes, linens or other household items, or, as a verb, to shut someone away in private.
In American English, closet most often names the built-in storage space found in nearly every bedroom, while speakers of British English are more likely to call the same space a wardrobe or cupboard. Older buildings sometimes used closet for a small private room set aside for study, prayer or a quiet conversation, a sense that survives in phrases about being closeted with someone in a meeting. As a verb, to closet oneself means to withdraw into a private room, and public figures are sometimes described as closeting themselves away to work on a difficult decision. The phrase to come out of the closet extends the idea of a hidden, enclosed space to mean revealing something once kept secret, especially about one's identity.
How CLOSET is used
An everyday word in American homes for built-in storage, and also common in figurative phrases about secrecy and privacy.
