What does CUTOUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A shape or figure cut out of paper, cardboard, or another flat material, or a switch that automatically breaks an electrical circuit.
In craft and design, a cutout is what remains after removing a piece from a sheet, whether a paper doll, a stencil, or a life-size cardboard figure standing in a shop window. In electrical work the same word names a safety device, sometimes called a circuit breaker, that interrupts current whenever a fault or overload threatens to damage the wiring. Old cars also used an exhaust cutout, a valve that let engine gases bypass the muffler for extra power. Espionage writing borrows the word too, calling a cutout the trusted go-between who passes messages between agents who never meet directly.

Used across crafts, electrical wiring, older cars, and spy fiction, so the exact meaning depends on context.
