What does HUB mean in Scrabble?
noun
The centre of a wheel, or of a system.
The hub was the wooden block at the middle of a cart wheel long before it was anything abstract, and the figurative use kept the picture exactly: spokes going out from one point. Airlines borrowed it in the 1970s, and it now describes a way of running a network rather than a place.
