What does PULPIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A raised platform in a church from which the preacher delivers the sermon.
Many old churches have a carved wooden or stone pulpit, set high so that the whole congregation can see and hear the speaker. The word comes from the Latin pulpitum, a platform. By extension, the pulpit stands for preaching and the clergy as a whole, and a bully pulpit is any position that gives someone a loud public voice. Sailors also use it for the railed platform at the bow of a boat.
