What does DEPOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A place where goods, equipment, or vehicles are stored, or a station where buses or trains load and unload passengers.
A depot can serve very different purposes depending on context: a military depot holds supplies and trains recruits, a bus depot houses and dispatches vehicles, and a small-town depot is simply the old railway station. In American usage especially, depot often refers to any local train or bus station, even a modest one. The common thread is a fixed point where goods or vehicles are gathered before being sent onward.
