What does PERSON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A human being, considered as an individual.
Person is one of the most basic words in English for referring to a single human being, used in place of naming someone directly or specifying their sex, age or role. Law and grammar both give the word specialised extra meanings: legally, a company or organisation can count as a person, while grammatically, person marks whether a pronoun or verb refers to the speaker, the one spoken to, or someone else entirely. The word also appears in the fixed phrase in person, meaning physically present rather than represented by letter, phone or deputy. Its Latin root, persona, originally named the mask an actor wore on stage.
