What does OUTLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A way or means by which something, such as water, energy, or emotion, can flow out or be released.
An outlet can be a literal opening, such as the mouth of a river or a point where pipes release water, or it can be a device such as an electrical socket that lets current flow into an appliance. The word is also used figuratively for any activity that lets a person release stress, energy, or feeling, as when someone calls painting an outlet for frustration. In business, an outlet can additionally mean a shop that sells a manufacturer's goods directly to the public, often at reduced prices. All of these senses share the same core idea of something finding a way out.
