What does GUNNER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who operates a gun, especially a member of the armed forces trained to fire artillery or other large guns.
A gunner may serve on land, at sea, or in the air, and armies and navies have long used the word as a rank or job title for someone responsible for a gun and its crew, as with the British Army's use of gunner in place of private in artillery units. The word also covers hunters who carry a gun and, informally, sports players who take a great many shots, a looser sense that has spread well beyond its military origin. Historically the same word also named a naval warrant officer in charge of a ship's ordnance.
How GUNNER is used
Common in military contexts as both a job and a rank, and used more loosely for hunters and, informally, for eager shooters in sport.
