What does FRAME mean in Scrabble?
noun
A rigid structure that supports, encloses, or gives shape to something, such as a window, picture, or building.
A frame is the skeleton that holds a picture, window, or building together, and by extension the word covers a bicycle's metal frame, a pair of glasses' frames, and even a single image in a strip of film. Beyond physical structures, people speak of a frame of mind to describe a temporary mood, and to frame someone means to fake evidence so that an innocent person looks guilty. Builders raise the wooden frame of a house long before the walls go up, showing how central the idea of an underlying support is to the word's many senses.
How FRAME is used
Very common in construction, photography, everyday speech, and figuratively for both mental states and false accusations.
