What does CUPID mean in Scrabble?
noun
A decorative image or figure of a small, plump, winged boy carrying a bow and arrow, used as a symbol of romantic love.
A cupid appears everywhere from Valentine's Day cards and wedding invitations to the corners of old paintings, where the little archer stands in for the arrival of love at first sight. Jewelers, illustrators, and greeting-card designers keep the same basic look alive today: bare chest, small wings, a drawn bow, sometimes a blindfold, always pointed toward someone about to fall for another person.
