What does SPOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, roughly round mark or stain that differs in color or texture from the surface around it.
A spot is usually noticed because it interrupts an otherwise even surface, whether it is a mark on skin, a stain on cloth, or a blemish on fruit. The same word names the exact place where something happens, as in a picnic spot or a parking spot. English speakers use spot loosely for both a tiny mark and a specific location, letting context decide which sense is meant.
How SPOT is used
Extremely common in everyday speech for both a mark and a place; rarely formal.
