What does SCENE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The place where an event happens, or a single continuous episode within a play, film or story.
A scene can be a literal location, as when police seal off the scene of an accident, or a unit of storytelling, one continuous stretch of action within a larger play, film or novel that a writer builds toward a particular effect. The word also names a wider setting or atmosphere, as when someone describes the local music scene or the political scene, a whole community defined by shared activity rather than by a single place. To make a scene means something narrower still, causing an embarrassing public disturbance, usually through an outburst of anger or emotion in front of others. Painters and photographers use scene in yet another closely related sense, for the whole view captured within a picture, so a peaceful countryside scene might hang on a gallery wall.
How SCENE is used
Extremely common in everyday speech, drama, art and reporting, with meaning shifting slightly depending on whether it names a place, an episode or a wider community.
