What does ERRAND mean in Scrabble?
noun
A short trip made in order to carry out a specific task, often on behalf of someone else.
An errand is usually a brief, practical outing, such as buying groceries, dropping off a package, or delivering a message, rather than a longer journey taken for its own sake. The word often implies that the trip is done for another person's benefit, as when a child runs an errand for a parent or an assistant runs errands for a busy employer. Errand can also describe the underlying purpose of the trip itself, separate from the travel involved.
