What does SKY mean in Scrabble?
noun
The space above the earth, seen from the ground.
Sky came from a Norse word meaning cloud, and it pushed out the older English term for the same space, which was heaven. That is why heaven now means only one thing: the plainer word took the everyday sense and left the other one nowhere to go but upward.
