What does KOSHER mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Prepared or sold in line with Jewish dietary law; also, in casual speech, genuine, legitimate or proper.
Kosher comes from a Hebrew word meaning fit or proper. In a religious setting it describes food, kitchens and shops that follow strict rules, such as keeping meat and dairy apart. In everyday English the word has drifted into a general sense, so a deal that seems honest is called kosher and a shady one is not.
