What does PLAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A map of a piece of land divided into numbered lots.
Plat is American surveying language: the document that turns a field into building plots and gives each one a reference. Filing it is the moment a subdivision legally exists, so the word carries far more weight in a county office than its plainness suggests. Britain does the same thing under quite different names.
