What does PARLOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A room in a house set aside for sitting and receiving visitors, or a shop offering a specific service such as haircuts, tattoos, or ice cream.
In older homes the parlor was the formal room kept for guests and special occasions, separate from the everyday living space, and families often reserved their best furniture for it. The word later spread to business names, so a beauty parlor, a tattoo parlor, and an ice cream parlor all borrow the same sense of a room set aside for a particular activity, even though none of them resembles an old-fashioned sitting room. American English keeps the spelling parlor, while British English generally prefers parlour.
