What does ROUND mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Shaped like a circle, ball, or cylinder, having a curved outline with no corners or straight edges.
A round object curves continuously back on itself, whether it is a coin, a wheel, or a full moon hanging in the sky. The same word works as a noun for one stage in a longer sequence, such as a round of a boxing match, a round of drinks bought for a group, or a round of golf played over eighteen holes. As a verb, to round a number means to adjust it to a simpler, less exact figure, and to round a corner means to move along its curve. Sailors and soldiers also speak of a round as a single unit of ammunition fired from a gun.
How ROUND is used
Extremely common in everyday English, covering shape, sporting and social contests, ammunition, and the approximation of numbers.
