What does ICON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small picture or symbol that stands for something else, such as a program on a computer screen or a sacred image venerated in certain churches.
An icon can be a tiny picture clicked to open an app, or, in the older sense, a painted image of Christ, Mary or a saint honoured in the Eastern Orthodox and related traditions. Both uses share the idea of a picture that stands for something greater than the image itself.
