What does FORUM mean in Scrabble?
noun
A place, meeting, or online platform for open discussion of matters of public interest.
A forum was originally the open public square at the heart of a Roman town, where markets, trials and speeches all took place, and the word has since spread to any setting built for open exchange of ideas. A city council might hold a public forum before approving a new road, while millions of people today argue about hobbies, politics or software bugs on internet forums. What links the ancient square and the modern website is the same expectation: that anyone present can speak and be heard.
How FORUM is used
Common in both formal contexts, such as public meetings, and everyday internet culture, as in online discussion forums.
