What does LODGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small house or cabin, especially one used as temporary or seasonal accommodation, such as a hunting lodge, ski lodge, or gatekeeper's house at the entrance to a large estate.
A lodge traditionally stood at the gate of a large estate, giving the gatekeeper or gardener a small, separate home apart from the main house. The same word later spread to any modest building used for temporary stays close to outdoor activity, such as a mountain lodge used by skiers or a lodge built beside a lake for hunting and fishing trips. Fraternal and social organizations also call their local branch and its meeting hall a lodge, a use that grew out of the medieval sense of a sheltered workroom for masons. As a verb, to lodge means to stay somewhere temporarily or to formally submit something, such as a complaint, senses that share the underlying idea of settling something into place.
