What does ESTATE mean in Scrabble?
noun
An expanse of land with a grand house, or, more broadly, everything a person owns, including money and property.
Estate covers several related ideas that all trace back to a person's position and possessions. In the countryside sense, an estate is a large piece of land, often with a substantial house, that may include farmland, woods, or tenant cottages. In law and personal finance, a person's estate is everything gathered together, valued, and distributed after their death. British English also uses estate for a planned area of housing, as in a housing estate, and historically the word named the great social classes such as the clergy, the nobility, and the commons, the estates of the realm. All these senses share the older meaning of a person's settled condition or standing in life.
