What does COLORS mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A flag or emblem that represents a nation, military unit, or team, especially one carried or displayed with pride.
Beyond naming more than one hue, colors names the flag itself, as when soldiers salute the colors or a ship lowers its colors in surrender. The word extends into idioms such as showing one's true colors, meaning to reveal one's real character, or joining the colors, an older phrase for enlisting in the armed forces. Sports teams and clubs also speak of wearing their colors, meaning the distinctive badge or jacket that marks membership. This sense of colors as an emblem of identity is older than most speakers realize, tracing back to military and naval flags.
