What does LABEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small piece of paper, fabric, or other material attached to an object to identify it or provide information about it.
A label lets someone identify the contents, ownership, or instructions for an item at a glance, whether that means a price label on a product, a fabric label sewn inside a shirt, or a warning label on a bottle of medicine. The same word works as a verb, to label, meaning to attach such a tag or, more broadly, to describe or classify a person or idea in a fixed way, sometimes unfairly. Beyond physical tags, a record label is also the company name under which music is released, a sense that grew from the printed disc label at the centre of a record.
How LABEL is used
A common noun and verb, used both for physical tags on objects and, more loosely, for classifying people or ideas.
