What does RENTAL mean in Scrabble?
noun
The amount of money paid for the use of something, such as a house, car or piece of equipment, or the arrangement of renting it.
Rental most often names the payment itself, as in a monthly rental of a certain amount, but the same word also describes the whole arrangement of renting something, as when a company runs a car rental business. It can further stand in for the rented item itself, so people casually call a hired car or holiday cottage a rental. As an adjective, rental describes anything connected with renting, such as a rental agreement or rental income. All these uses share the same underlying idea of paying for temporary use rather than ownership.
