What does KIOSK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, freestanding structure used to sell goods such as newspapers, snacks or tickets, or to provide information.
A kiosk is small enough to staff with one or two people and is usually placed where foot traffic is heavy, such as a train station, shopping mall or park. The word originally described an open pavilion in Persian and Turkish gardens before it came to mean a small commercial stand in Western cities. In modern usage, kiosk also refers to a self-service computer terminal, such as a check-in kiosk at an airport or a payment kiosk in a store. Because the term now covers both physical stands and touchscreen machines, context usually makes clear which kind of kiosk is meant.
