What does DEPTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
The distance from the top or surface of something down to its bottom; also, the degree of intensity, complexity, or seriousness of something.
Depth most literally measures how far down something extends, whether that is the depth of a swimming pool, a well, or the ocean floor far below the surface. The word extends naturally into figurative uses, describing the intensity or seriousness of feelings, as when grief reaches a depth no words can express, or the thoroughness of knowledge, as when an expert shows real depth of understanding. In photography and optics, depth of field describes how much of an image stays in sharp focus at once. Across its many uses, depth always measures how far something extends beneath a surface or beyond the obvious.
