What does SALUTE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To greet, honour, or acknowledge someone with a formal gesture, word, or ceremony.
To salute most often means to raise a hand to the head in the formal gesture that members of the armed forces use to show respect to an officer or a flag. The word stretches beyond that single gesture to cover any formal act of respect, including the ceremonial firing of guns used to salute a visiting head of state or a national holiday. Outside the military, people use salute more loosely to mean simply greeting someone warmly or praising an achievement, as when a newspaper salutes a retiring public figure. The noun salute names the gesture, sound, or ceremony itself, whichever form the respect takes.
How SALUTE is used
Common in both strict military contexts and looser, everyday praise or greeting.
