What does CURFEW mean in Scrabble?
noun
A rule requiring people to stay indoors, or to be home, after a set hour.
Authorities impose a curfew in times of unrest or emergency, and parents set one for teenagers on a school night. The word goes back to medieval times, when an evening bell told households to cover their fires for the night, and the bell itself was once called the curfew. Today it means both the rule and the hour at which it begins.
