What does STRING mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thin cord made of twisted threads, used for tying, fastening or hanging things.
String is one of the most familiar everyday materials, thinner than rope but strong enough to tie parcels, fly kites or hold a tag to a gift. Musicians also call the tensioned wire or cord on an instrument a string, and by extension the whole section of bowed instruments in an orchestra is called the strings. The word extends further still into ideas of a linear sequence, so people speak of a string of pearls, a string of bad luck, or a string of numbers in computing.
How STRING is used
Very common in everyday, musical and technical contexts, from tying parcels to naming a sequence of characters in computing.
- She tied the parcel with a length of string.
- A new string on the violin needed careful tuning.
- The necklace was made from a single string of pearls.
