What does STAMP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small piece of gummed paper issued by a postal authority, which is stuck to an envelope or package to show that the cost of sending it has been paid.
Beyond the postal sense, a stamp can be any small device or block bearing a design that transfers ink onto paper, such as a rubber stamp used to mark documents official. The word also works as a verb meaning to press such a device onto a surface, or, in an unrelated but common use, to bring the foot down hard and noisily, as when a person stamps in anger. Collectors who gather old stamps as a hobby are called philatelists, and rare stamps can be worth enormous sums. Because the noun and the verb share one spelling, a stamp on an envelope and the act of stamping a passport are both described with the same word.
How STAMP is used
Countable noun for the postage or ink-marking object; the related verb stamp takes a direct object, as in stamp the passport.
- He licked the stamp and pressed it onto the corner of the envelope.
- The postmaster sold a sheet of commemorative stamps.
- Customs officials pressed a stamp into her passport at the border.
