What does REMIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
The particular task, responsibility, or area of activity that a person, committee, or organization is officially given to deal with.
A remit sets the outer edge of what someone is expected or allowed to do, so a question outside a committee's remit is one nobody there has authority to answer. The word is common in British institutional English, describing the scope handed down to a department, an inquiry or a single official. Remit is related to the verb remit, meaning to send money or to refer a matter to another authority, and both senses share the idea of something being formally passed or assigned. Widening or narrowing an organization's remit changes exactly what falls under its control.
How REMIT is used
Mainly British institutional usage; often follows within or outside, as in outside the remit of this inquiry.

- The inquiry's remit was widened to include earlier incidents.

- The new committee has a broad remit covering public health.
