What does PORT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A town or harbour where ships load and unload, or an opening or socket through which something connects or passes.
A port began as a place on a coast or river where ships could shelter and exchange cargo. The same idea of an entrance point carried over into other meanings, such as a porthole in a ship's side, the left-hand side of a ship or aircraft facing forward, and a computer port where a cable or device plugs in.
