What does COAST mean in Scrabble?
noun
The land bordering the sea, or the act of moving without extra effort or power.
The word coast traces back to the Latin costa, meaning a rib or side, since a coastline forms the outer edge or flank of a landmass. Geographers further split it into types such as a rocky coast or a low sandy coast depending on how the land meets the water. The unrelated-feeling verb sense grew out of an old idea of sliding along a slope or edge, which is why a sled or a bicycle can coast downhill with no pedaling at all.
