What does SITTER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who looks after children, pets, or a house while the owner or parents are away, or a person who poses for a painter, sculptor, or photographer.
Sitter is built from the verb sit, but its everyday meaning has narrowed to someone who stays and takes charge of children, animals, or a home in someone else's absence. In portrait painting and photography the same word describes the person being depicted, since posing traditionally meant sitting still for long stretches of time. In sport, especially cricket and football commentary, an easy chance that should not be missed is sometimes called a sitter, extending the idea of something simple that is there for the taking.
How SITTER is used
Common in everyday speech, most often shortened from babysitter or house-sitter, and also used in art for someone who poses.
- They hired a sitter for Saturday night.

- Our neighbour works as a sitter for several families on the street.
