What does METRE mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
The base unit of length in the metric system, equal to about 3.28 feet, spelled meter in American English.
A metre is defined today by the distance light travels in a tiny fraction of a second, giving scientists an extremely precise standard. Everyday objects such as a door or a tall counter are often close to one metre in height, which makes the unit easy to picture. The same spelling also names the rhythmic pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry, a completely different but equally common use of the word.
