What does ICONIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Widely known and admired as a symbol of something, or relating to an icon.
Used of a person, building, song or image that has become a standard symbol of an era or idea, iconic is a strong word in current speech. Its older and narrower sense concerns religious icons, or any image that resembles what it stands for. Critics sometimes complain that iconic is stretched over things that are merely popular, so reserve it for what truly defines its field.
