What does RATION mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fixed amount of food, fuel, or another resource that is allowed to a person over a given period.
Rations are used to control the distribution of limited resources so that everyone receives a fair, predictable share, especially during shortages such as war or famine. Governments and armies have long issued food rations to soldiers and civilians, often through coupons or cards that had to be presented to receive the allotted amount. The word can also be used as a verb, meaning to limit or control how much of something a person is given. Outside of formal rationing schemes, ration is sometimes used loosely to mean any strictly limited portion of something, such as a daily ration of coffee.
