What does GUEST mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who is invited to someone's home, event, or table, or who pays to stay temporarily at a hotel or other establishment.
A guest is welcomed by a host and typically treated with particular courtesy, whether attending a private dinner, a wedding, or a formal ceremony. In hospitality settings, the word describes anyone who books a room or table, and businesses often speak of guest satisfaction rather than customer satisfaction to emphasize warmth and service. The word also appears in phrases such as guest speaker or guest star, describing someone invited to appear temporarily in a role usually filled by someone else.
