What does EVENT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thing that happens or takes place, especially one considered important, or an organized occasion such as a competition, ceremony, or social gathering.
An event can be as small as a single incident worth remembering or as large as a planned occasion that brings many people together, such as a wedding, a conference, or a sporting event. In athletics, event also names a single contest within a larger competition, so a track meet might include a hundred-meter event and a long jump event on the same afternoon. The word's flexibility lets speakers describe both unplanned occurrences, as in the event of a fire, and carefully scheduled programs advertised well in advance.
How EVENT is used
Extremely common in everyday speech, describing anything from a minor incident to a major planned occasion.
- The wedding was the biggest event of the summer.
- A strange event interrupted the otherwise quiet evening.
- Organizers planned every detail of the charity event carefully.
- She qualified for the final event of the swim meet.
- In the event of rain, the picnic will move indoors.
