What does FIELD mean in Scrabble?
noun
An area of open land, especially one used for growing crops, grazing animals, or playing sport, or, more broadly, a particular branch of study, activity, or area of influence.
A field in its oldest sense is simply a stretch of cleared, open land, whether planted with wheat, grazed by sheep, or marked out for a football match. From this concrete meaning the word branched out widely: a field of study is a subject such as medicine or physics, a magnetic field is a region where a physical force acts, and a database field is a single item of stored information. The verb to field, used especially in cricket and baseball, comes from players standing out on the playing field ready to catch or stop the ball.
