What does GRAVE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A hole dug in the ground to bury a dead body, usually marked by a stone or mound.
A grave is normally located in a cemetery or churchyard and marked with a headstone recording the name and dates of the person buried there. The word also extends figuratively to mean death itself, as in phrases like beyond the grave. Grave is also, by coincidence rather than by relation, an unconnected adjective meaning serious or solemn, from a different word history entirely.
