What does SIGNOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
An Italian title of courtesy for a man, corresponding to Mr or sir.
Signor is placed before a man's name or used alone as a polite form of address in Italian, much as Mr or sir functions in English. English writers borrow the word signor when they want to give dialogue or description an Italian flavor, especially in older novels and travel writing. The title shows respect without stating rank or profession, unlike titles such as doctor or count. Related forms, spelled signore or signior, appear in some texts as variants of the same word.
How SIGNOR is used
Used in English writing to represent Italian speech or to address an Italian man politely.
