What does MISSUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal term for a person's wife, or a casual way of addressing a woman whose name is not known.
Missus began as a spoken, less formal variant of mistress and was long used by servants or working people to refer respectfully to the woman of a household, before Mrs. became the standard written form. Today it survives mainly in casual speech, often used affectionately or humorously by a husband referring to his own wife, as in "the missus wants me home by six". An alternate spelling, missis, refers to the exact same word and use.
