What does DUGOUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A boat carved from a single hollowed log, or a covered shelter dug into the ground, including the bench where a sports team's players and coaches sit.
The oldest sense of dugout is a canoe shaped from one tree trunk by hollowing and burning out the inside, a boatbuilding method used by many cultures long before sawn planks. The word later spread to any shelter dug into earth and roofed over, including the trench shelters soldiers used in the First World War. In modern sport it names the low, roofed bench at the side of a baseball or soccer field where the manager, coaches and substitutes sit during a game. All three senses share the same idea of a space carved or dug out of the ground or a solid log rather than built up from it.

Common in ordinary English; the sporting sense is especially frequent in reports of baseball, cricket, and soccer matches.
