What does RESORT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A place, often with hotels and organised activities, that people visit for a holiday or for relaxation.
Resort most often names a destination built around leisure, from a seaside town with hotels and a promenade to a purpose-built complex offering skiing, golf, or all-inclusive holidays. The same word also survives in the phrase last resort, where resort keeps its older sense of something a person turns to for help when other options have failed, as in as a last resort or without resort to force. Because both senses share the idea of turning to something, tourist resort and last resort are historically the same word rather than two coincidences. In modern everyday use, however, the holiday-destination sense is by far the more common one people mean by resort on its own.
How RESORT is used
