What does DROID mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal term for a robot, especially a mobile machine built to look or act somewhat like a person.
Science fiction stories popularized droid as a shorter, catchier alternative to android, describing a machine that can move, speak, or perform tasks on its own. Outside fiction, the word has drifted into everyday informal speech to describe any robot or highly automated machine, from a factory arm to a toy that follows simple commands. Because droid began as a shortened form of android, the two words still overlap closely in meaning.
