What does SMITH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who forges and shapes metal, especially by heating and hammering it, most often used in compounds such as blacksmith, silversmith or goldsmith.
A smith works metal into tools, weapons, fittings or decorative objects, traditionally by heating it in a forge until soft enough to hammer into shape on an anvil. The word rarely stands entirely alone in modern speech, appearing far more often as the second part of a compound that names the particular metal worked, such as blacksmith for iron or goldsmith for gold. Historically, a smith held an essential and respected place in almost any community, since tools, horseshoes and hardware all depended on this one trade. The craft survives today mainly among specialists making decorative ironwork, custom knives or traditional horseshoes, rather than as an everyday village occupation.
How SMITH is used
Somewhat old-fashioned when used alone; far more common as part of compounds naming a particular metalworking trade.
