What does OCEAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
One of the great bodies of salt water that together cover most of the surface of the Earth.
Geographers usually name five oceans, and each one shapes the climate of the coasts around it through its currents, temperature, and depth. The word can describe the entire connected body of salt water at once, or a single named division of it, a flexibility that sets ocean apart from the smaller, more enclosed sense of sea.
How OCEAN is used
A very common everyday word, used both for the whole body of world ocean and for one of its named divisions.
- The ship crossed the ocean in just under a week.
- Marine biologists study life at the bottom of the ocean.
