What does KIDEO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A television programme, video, or video game made specifically for children.
Kideo blends kid and video, and the word covers children's television, video releases and video games under one label rather than treating each separately. It belongs to the same pattern as other modern blends built for marketing shelves and reviews, where a single short word is easier to print than a phrase. The word is recent enough that many dictionaries still omit it, though word game lists have picked it up.
