What does COMBO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal word for a small group of things or people combined together, especially a small band of musicians.
Combo shortens combination, and shoppers meet it constantly in phrases like a lunch combo at a fast-food counter, meaning a bundled set of items sold as one deal. Musicians use the same word for a compact jazz or dance ensemble, smaller and more informal than a full orchestra. The term feels casual throughout, and careful writing would reach for combination or ensemble instead. Combo spread widely in the mid-twentieth century alongside small jazz outfits touring clubs.
How COMBO is used
Informal in all its senses, common in everyday speech about food deals and in music writing about small jazz or dance groups.
