What does REPRO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal short form of reproduction, used especially for a copy of an antique piece of furniture or a printed item.
Repro shortens reproduction the way memo shortens memorandum, and antique dealers use it to mark furniture built new but styled after an older design, distinguishing it clearly from a genuine antique. Printers also use repro for camera-ready copy, a finished sheet of text and images prepared for photographic reproduction before printing. Because the word signals that something is a copy rather than an original, calling a piece repro can lower its value compared with a genuine period item. The clipped form is common in trade and casual speech but rarely appears in formal writing.
How REPRO is used
Informal; common in the antiques and furniture trade and in printing, less common in formal writing.
