What does SCOOP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A rounded, shovel-like utensil used for lifting, digging out, or serving a portion of something such as ice cream, flour, or dirt.
A scoop is shaped to gather a rounded portion in a single motion, whether it is an ice cream scoop pulling a ball of dessert from a tub or a garden scoop lifting soil into a pot. The word also names the quantity such a tool lifts, as when a recipe calls for two scoops of flour. In journalism, a scoop refers instead to a story a reporter publishes before any rival outlet, a sense that grew from the same idea of gathering something first. Both meanings share the core notion of gathering or claiming something in one decisive action.
