What does SENIOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who is older, ranks higher, or has served longer than another person being compared with them.
Senior always sets up a comparison rather than naming an absolute age or rank, which is why a company can have a senior partner and a school can have a senior student in the same sentence without confusion. In North American schools the word also names a student in the final year of high school or college, a sense that has no exact equivalent in British usage. After a father's name, Senior distinguishes him from a son who shares the same name. The comparative sense comes straight from the Latin senior, meaning older.
