What does GENDER mean in Scrabble?
noun
The state of being male, female or another identity, especially as shaped by social and cultural roles rather than biology alone, or the grammatical classification of words into categories such as masculine and feminine.
Gender is used in two quite different but related ways: in everyday and social contexts it refers to the identity and roles a person has as male, female or otherwise, which people increasingly distinguish from biological sex. In grammar, gender names the system by which languages such as French, German and Latin sort nouns and pronouns into classes like masculine, feminine and neuter, and require other words in the sentence to agree with that class. The two uses share a common root in the idea of sorting things into kinds, even though grammatical gender in a language often has little to do with biological sex. Because the word covers both a social and a linguistic idea, context usually makes clear which sense of gender is meant.
