What does GRADE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A particular level of rank, quality, or value within a system used to classify or compare things.
A grade sorts items, students, or materials into ranked groups so that people can compare them quickly, whether the system measures the quality of steel, the mark given for schoolwork, or the year level a pupil has reached. Outside education and manufacturing, the word also names the slope of a road or railway, since that sense grew from the idea of a graded, gradually rising surface. Because the meaning shifts with context, the same word can describe a report card mark, a cut of meat, or a hill's steepness.
How GRADE is used
A common noun with several related senses, spanning education, manufacturing quality, and road or rail slope.
