What does PARTY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A social gathering of invited guests, typically involving food, drink, music, or conversation, held to celebrate an occasion or simply for enjoyment.
A party can mark anything from a birthday or wedding to nothing more than the arrival of the weekend, and the scale ranges from a handful of friends around a kitchen table to a large hall full of music and dancing. Beyond the social sense, the same word names an organized political group, as when voters choose between one party and another at an election, and it also names one side in a legal agreement or dispute, such as the party responsible for a contract. English borrowed party from Old French partie, meaning a part or side, which explains why a single word ended up covering a celebration, a political organization, and a side in a lawsuit.
How PARTY is used
Common in everyday speech for a social gathering, and equally common in political and legal writing for an organized group or a side in an agreement.
