What does EPOCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A particular period of time marked by notable events, developments, or characteristics.
An epoch is a stretch of history or a stage of development distinguished by something significant, such as a scientific discovery, a ruler's reign, or a major shift in culture. Geologists also use epoch as a formal division of time within a larger era, such as the current Holocene epoch. In looser everyday use, people describe any striking turning point as marking the start of a new epoch in their lives or in an industry. The word therefore ranges from precise scientific classification to broad, expressive description.
