What does CUTTER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person or tool that cuts, or a small, fast boat with a single mast used for sailing, patrol, or rescue work.
Call someone or something a cutter and you could mean a tailor trimming cloth, a film editor assembling footage, or a simple hand tool sold as a wire stripper or box opener, since the label covers anyone or anything whose job involves shaping material by removing part of it. At sea, a rigging historian would recognize a cutter as a distinct vessel: one mast set further aft than on a sloop, more than one foresail, and a hull once launched from a larger ship to run errands between ship and shore. Coast guard and naval fleets today still keep the old name for their motorized patrol cutters, which handle rescue, law enforcement, and border duty far from any sail.
