What does PATIO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A paved outdoor area next to a house, used for sitting, eating or relaxing.
Patio came into English from Spanish, where it originally named an open inner courtyard enclosed by the walls of a house. In modern use, especially in North America and Britain, it usually refers to a paved area attached to the back or side of a house rather than an enclosed courtyard. Patios are commonly furnished with tables, chairs and sometimes plants, making them an extension of indoor living space into the garden. The word is also used for similar paved seating areas outside restaurants and cafes.
