What does MODEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A simplified representation of an object, system, or process used to study, explain, plan, or test something; also, a particular design or version of a manufactured product, or a person employed to display clothing or pose for art and photography.
Scientists and engineers build a model to stand in for something too large, too small, too dangerous, or too abstract to study directly, from a scale model of a bridge to a computer model of the climate. Manufacturers use the same word for a specific version of a product line, so a car model or phone model marks out one design among many variations sold under the same brand. In fashion and art, a model is a person hired to wear clothing on a runway or in photographs, or to pose so an artist can study the human form. The verb to model covers all these senses too, meaning to build a representation of something, to display clothing professionally, or more generally to shape one's behaviour on an example worth copying.
How MODEL is used
Extremely common across science, manufacturing, fashion and everyday speech, always centred on a representative or exemplary version of something.
