What does STEIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large mug, often made of pottery, stoneware or pewter and sometimes fitted with a hinged lid, traditionally used for drinking beer.
The word stein comes from German, where it simply means stone, reflecting the stoneware many early mugs were made from. A decorated stein is closely associated with German beer halls and festivals such as Oktoberfest, where large steins are carried by the handful to waiting tables. Collectors prize old steins for their painted scenes, pewter lids and maker's marks, and some rare examples are worth a great deal of money. In everyday English the word simply describes any large, sturdy beer mug, whether or not it came from Germany.
How STEIN is used
Used mainly for the traditional German-style beer mug, in both everyday speech and among collectors.
