What does FRONT mean in Scrabble?
noun
The forward-facing part or side of something, the position directly ahead, or, more broadly, an outward appearance assumed to conceal one's real feelings, intentions, or activities.
The most basic sense of front names whatever faces outward or forward, whether that is the front of a house, the front row of a theater, or the front of an army advancing toward the enemy. Meteorologists narrow the word to a specific boundary between two air masses, so a cold front moving through an area often brings sudden changes in weather. Figuratively, a person can put up a front, projecting confidence or calm while hiding fear or doubt underneath, and a front can also be a legitimate-looking business that actually conceals illegal activity. Political and social movements likewise organize themselves as a front, a coalition presenting a unified face even when its members hold different views underneath.
