What does MOUSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small rodent with a pointed snout and a long thin tail, or a small handheld device used to move a cursor and select items on a computer screen.
A mouse is, first of all, a small furry rodent common in houses and fields, known for nibbling food and for being hunted by cats. The word was later borrowed for the handheld computer device, because its rounded shape and trailing cable reminded early engineers of the animal's body and tail. Both senses stay equally common today: the plural for the animal is mice, while the plural for the computer device is often left as mouse or given as mouses in technical writing.
