What does LESSON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A period of time set aside for teaching or learning a particular subject or skill.
A lesson usually names a single session, such as a piano lesson or a driving lesson, shorter and more focused than a full course of study. The word also covers what is learned outside a classroom, as when a hard experience teaches its own lesson about caution or patience. In some churches, lesson keeps an older, more specific sense, naming a passage of scripture read aloud during a service. Across all these uses, the common thread is something meant to be learned, whether from a teacher, an event, or a text.
How LESSON is used
Very common; used for scheduled instruction, for lessons learned from experience, and, in church use, for scripture readings.
