What does SQUAD mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small group of people organised together to carry out a particular task, such as a military duty, a sports competition, or police work.
A squad is smaller and more specialised than a whole team or army, and its members usually share one specific job, drill, or mission. Military units use the word for the smallest organised group of soldiers, while sports clubs use it for the full pool of players a coach can choose from. Police forces likewise form squads dedicated to a single kind of crime, showing how the same structure fits very different settings.
How SQUAD is used
Common in everyday speech about sports, policing, and the military, and it can also work as a verb meaning to organise people into such groups.
