What does PANTRY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small room or cupboard off the kitchen used for storing food and sometimes dishes.
The word comes from the Old French for bread, since the pantry was originally where bread was kept and given out. Houses of the past often set it between the kitchen and the dining room, and many modern homes keep one for dry goods, tins and preserves. In American usage a walk-in pantry is a prized kitchen feature.
