What does MATRON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A dignified, usually older, married woman, especially one responsible for domestic or medical arrangements at a school, hospital, or other institution.
A matron once ran the domestic side of a hospital or boarding school, overseeing nursing staff, meals, and discipline, and some British hospitals still use the title for a senior nursing manager. Outside institutions, matron can describe any dignified, usually older, married woman, sometimes with a slightly formal or old-fashioned tone. A matron of honour, by contrast, is simply a married woman filling the role a bridesmaid would normally take at a wedding.
