What does SETOUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
The start of a journey or undertaking, or a display of items, such as food or belongings, laid out for use.
Setout covers two related but distinct ideas: the outset of a trip or task, and a spread of things arranged for others to see or use, such as a table set out with food. Older informal writing uses the first sense mainly to describe the preparations and departure of a journey, while the second sense describes the arrangement itself rather than the act of arranging it. The word is built plainly from the phrasal verb set out, turned into a single noun the way many English compounds form from everyday phrases. Because it stayed informal rather than becoming standard, setout now appears mostly in older or regional writing rather than in formal prose.
