What does GARAGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A building, or part of a building, used for storing a motor vehicle or for repairing and servicing vehicles.
A garage can be as simple as a small structure attached to a house, built to keep a car out of the weather, or as large as a commercial workshop where mechanics repair engines and change tyres for a living. The word is also used as a verb, so drivers speak of garaging a car for the winter, meaning to put it away in storage rather than leave it outside. In Britain the same word names a business that sells fuel, in addition to one that repairs vehicles, so a garage can mean a filling station as much as a repair shop. Garage has also given its name to a style of music, as in garage rock and garage music, both named after the humble spaces where such music was first played or recorded.
