What does STINT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fixed or limited period of time spent doing a particular job, task or activity.
People often describe a stint abroad, a stint in the armed forces, or a brief stint on a television show, framing the experience as a defined chapter rather than a permanent commitment. The word suggests a set beginning and end, which is why a stint is commonly remembered as a specific episode in someone's career or life story. English also uses stint as a verb meaning to be sparing with something, as in the phrase without stint, meaning without holding back. Even a short stint in an unfamiliar job can teach skills that last far longer than the period itself.
