What does JAUNT mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A short trip or excursion taken for pleasure rather than necessity.
A jaunt is a brief outing, often unplanned or casual, taken purely for enjoyment rather than for business or an errand. The word suggests lightness and good humour, fitting a quick drive to the coast, a weekend visit to a nearby town, or an impromptu walk more than a long, serious journey. As a verb, to jaunt means to make such a trip, though the noun is by far the more common form in everyday speech. The word has kept a slightly old-fashioned, cheerful tone across several centuries of use.
