What does LIVERY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A distinctive uniform or colour scheme identifying a servant, a guild member, a company or its vehicles.
The word began in medieval households, where a lord handed out clothing or food to his servants, and the clothing marked whose retainers they were. Today livery most often means the paint design on an aircraft, bus or train, or the formal dress of a guild such as a London City company. A livery stable is a related sense: a place that feeds and looks after horses for a fee. The term still carries a flavour of belonging to a larger body.
