What does MARINE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Of, relating to, found in, or produced by the sea.
Marine describes anything connected with the sea, from marine biology, the study of ocean life, to marine insurance, which covers ships and the cargo they carry. The same root gives English the noun marine, a soldier trained to fight on both land and at sea, since such troops originally served as part of a ship's company. Both the adjective and the noun trace back to the Latin word for sea, mare, and the word remains common in scientific, nautical, and military writing alike.
