What does GOAL mean in Scrabble?
noun
Something a person aims to achieve, or, in many sports, the target area into which the ball or puck must be sent to score.
A goal can be a personal ambition, such as a goal to finish a project, or a physical target in games like football and hockey where scoring a goal means sending the ball past the defenders and into the goal itself. Both senses share the idea of an endpoint that effort is directed toward.
