What does CORRAL mean in Scrabble?
noun
An enclosed pen, often built of fencing or wagons, used to hold livestock such as horses or cattle.
A corral is a common sight on ranches across the American West, where riders drive their animals into it for branding, sorting or overnight shelter. The word came into English from Spanish, where it named any fenced yard, and pioneers later formed a corral out of wagons drawn into a circle for defence on the trail. Beyond ranching, people now use corral loosely for any effort to gather scattered people into one place, as when organizers corral volunteers before an event.
