What does INDEX mean in Scrabble?
noun
An alphabetical list, usually placed at the end of a book, that shows the pages on which particular names, subjects, or terms appear.
A good index lets a reader find a specific topic quickly without searching through an entire book page by page. Beyond books, the word index also names a number or figure that tracks change over time, such as a price index or a stock market index, and the pointing forefinger is called the index finger. Librarians, editors, and researchers rely on a well-built index to make long or technical works usable as reference material. Compiling an accurate index by hand takes careful attention to every term worth listing.
