What does PILL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, round or oval tablet of medicine meant to be swallowed.
A pill packs medicine into a compact, easily swallowed form, whether it is a hard tablet, a soft capsule, or a coated sugar pill, and doctors and pharmacists still use the word informally alongside the more technical tablet and capsule. The word also stands informally for oral contraceptives, simply called the pill. Beyond medicine, calling a piece of news or a task a bitter pill compares it to unpleasant medicine that still has to be swallowed.
