What does ROTA mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A list showing the order in which people take turns performing a duty.
A rota organizes a repeating task, such as cleaning or night watches, among a fixed group of people so that each person knows when their turn comes. It is common in British workplaces, schools and clubs, where duties rotate rather than falling to one person permanently. The word comes from the idea of a wheel turning, matching how the duty passes from person to person.
