What does FLOOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
The lower supporting surface of a room, building, or vehicle on which people stand or objects rest, or a specified level within a building.
Every room needs a floor to walk on, whether it is bare concrete, polished wood, or soft carpet, and the same word names each separate story of a taller building, as in the tenth floor. Legislatures and stock exchanges borrow the word for their own open space, calling the main working area the floor of the chamber or the floor of the exchange, where members speak or trade directly. As a verb, to floor someone can mean to knock them down physically or to leave them speechless with surprise, both images drawn from the idea of suddenly meeting the floor. A minimum limit on prices or wages is likewise called a floor, since nothing is allowed to fall below it.
How FLOOR is used
Common in everyday speech for the surface underfoot, a building level, and figuratively for a set lower limit.
