What does JETTY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A structure, often built of wood or stone, that projects from the shore into the water to protect a harbour or provide a landing place.
A jetty is built out from a coastline or riverbank to break the force of waves, guide a channel, or give boats somewhere to tie up and passengers somewhere to step ashore. Harbours and river mouths often rely on a pair of jetties to keep a navigable channel clear of drifting sand. The word can also describe a smaller landing stage on a lake or river used by pleasure boats. In architecture, a related sense describes an upper storey of a building that projects out over the storey below.
