What does REST mean in Scrabble?
noun
A period in which someone stops working or moving in order to relax, recover strength, or sleep.
A rest can be as short as a pause during a long walk or as long as a night of sleep; what matters is that the activity stops for a while so the body or mind can recover. The word also names the remaining part of something, as in the rest of the story, a meaning that grew out of the idea of what is left once the main portion is set aside.

Very common in everyday speech; used both as a noun (take a rest) and as a verb (go and rest).
