What does STAIRS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A set of steps, usually fixed in place, leading from one level of a building or structure to another.
Stairs form a staircase, connecting different floors of a house or building so that people can walk between them instead of using a lift. The word is normally used as a plural even for a single flight, much like trousers or scissors, because it describes the whole connected series of steps rather than one individual step. A single step within that series is instead called a stair.
