What does CYBER mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informaltechnical
Relating to computers, computer networks, and virtual reality.
Cyber began as the first part of cybernetics, the study of control and communication in machines and animals, and was later shortened into an independent word and prefix covering anything to do with computers and the internet. It now appears both as a standalone adjective and combined into terms such as cybersecurity, cybercrime and cyberspace. The word carries a strong association with the digital and online world rather than computing hardware alone. Its meaning has broadened considerably since the 1980s, when cyber mostly evoked science fiction rather than everyday technology.
