What does MASON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who builds or works with stone or brick, especially one skilled in cutting, shaping, and laying such materials.
Masons have historically been organized into skilled trade guilds, and their craft ranges from laying simple brick walls to carving elaborate stonework on cathedrals and monuments. The word is also the root of mason jar, named after the American tinsmith John Landis Mason, who patented the reusable glass jar with a screw-on lid. Modern masons often specialize further, working as bricklayers, stonemasons, or restoration specialists on historic buildings.
How MASON is used
