What does EARBUD mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A tiny speaker that sits at the entrance of the ear canal and plays sound from a phone or music player.
Unlike a headphone with a band across the head, an earbud has no frame at all and is held in place by the shape of the ear. Wireless versions usually come with a small charging case that also carries them in a pocket. The word is a compound of ear and bud, because the little earbud resembles a plant bud tucked into the ear.
