What does MILL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A building or machine equipped for grinding grain into flour, or, more broadly, a factory using continuous machinery.
The oldest mills used water or wind power to turn heavy stones that ground grain into flour, and the word later spread to any factory built around continuous machine processes, such as a cotton mill or a steel mill. The same word also names the machine itself, separate from the building that houses it.
