What does ESCORT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person, vehicle, or group that accompanies another for protection, guidance, or as a mark of honor.
An escort travels alongside someone or something to keep it safe or to show respect, whether that means a guard riding with a convoy, a warship sailing with a fleet, or a friend walking a guest to the door. The same word describes a person hired to accompany someone to a social event, a sense that has broadened over time to include paid companionship more generally. Escort also works as a verb, so the noun and the act it names share the same form.
How ESCORT is used

- A police escort cleared the way for the visiting dignitary.
