What does HEARTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
The floor of a fireplace, or the stone area in front of it.
The hearth is the part of a fireplace where the fire sits, usually paved with stone or brick so that sparks do not harm the room. Since the fire was once the centre of the house, the word has come to stand for home itself, as in the phrase hearth and home. In metalwork the same word names the lowest part of a furnace, where the melted metal gathers.
