What does SEDAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A car with a fixed roof, two or four doors, and separate front and back seats for passengers.
A sedan seats passengers in two enclosed rows behind a closed, rigid roof, distinguishing it from open convertibles and from cars with a single row of seats. American English uses sedan as the everyday word for this common body style, while British English generally calls the same shape a saloon. Long before the automobile, the same word named a sedan chair, an enclosed seat for one person carried on poles by two bearers, once common transport for the wealthy. The car took its name from that older chair because both fully enclose a single row of seated passengers.
How SEDAN is used
The everyday North American term for this car body style; British English usually says saloon instead.
