What does GRAND mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Large, impressive, and imposing in size, appearance, or style.
Something grand draws attention through scale or splendour, whether it is a building's grand entrance, a grand ceremony held with full formality, or a grand plan that reaches far beyond ordinary ambitions. The word can also carry a note of dignity or high social standing, as in a grand old family, and in informal speech it sometimes simply means excellent, as in we had a grand time. As a noun in slang, grand refers to a thousand units of currency, a use kept quite separate from the adjective's meaning of size and splendour.
