What does OMEGA mean in Scrabble?
noun
The twenty-fourth and final letter of the Greek alphabet; figuratively, the last or final element in a series.
Omega closes the Greek alphabet just as alpha opens it, and the pairing alpha and omega became a common phrase for the beginning and the end of anything, drawn originally from a biblical description of God. The letter's long o sound gives it its name, meaning literally great O, distinguishing it from the shorter omicron earlier in the alphabet. Beyond the alphabet itself, scientists borrowed the symbol omega for uses ranging from electrical resistance, measured in ohms, to certain fatty acids important in nutrition.
