What does STONE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A hard solid mineral material occurring naturally in the ground, or a piece of it shaped or used for building, paving and other purposes.
Builders have used stone for walls, floors and monuments for thousands of years because it is strong, durable and widely available. A smaller loose piece counts as a stone too, as when a person trips on a stone lying in a path, and the hard seed at the centre of a fruit such as a peach is known as a stone as well. In medicine, a stone can form inside the body, most often in the kidney or gall bladder, causing pain until it passes or is removed. Britain also measures body weight in stone, a unit equal to fourteen pounds, so a person's weight is sometimes given in stone rather than kilograms.
How STONE is used
An everyday word covering building material, small rocks, fruit seeds, medical formations and, in Britain, a unit of body weight.

- He tripped on a loose stone in the path.
