What does COURT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A body of people, headed by a judge, that hears evidence and decides legal cases; also an open or marked-out area used for certain sports, or the household of a monarch.
A court decides disputes and criminal charges by applying the law to the facts presented by both sides, and people commonly use the same word, court, for the very building where this happens. The word extends naturally to sport, where a tennis or basketball court is simply a marked-out area with its own boundaries and rules, and to history, where the court of a king or queen meant the ruling household along with its advisers and attendants. All three uses share the older sense of an enclosed space, since the earliest courts were literally yards attached to a house or castle.
How COURT is used
Common across several very different contexts: law, sport, and, historically, royal government.
- The case went before a court after months of investigation.

- Lawyers presented new evidence to the court this morning.
