What does STUDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
The act of devoting time and effort to learning about a subject, especially through reading, observation, or careful thought.
Study can describe the general activity of learning, as in years of study, or a specific piece of research published as a paper, such as a new study on sleep habits. The same word also names a private room in a house set aside for reading, writing, or work, a sense that comes from the idea of a place devoted to study. In art, a study is a preliminary sketch or exercise made to explore a technique or subject before a finished piece is created. Because study covers such different situations, from a scientific report to a quiet room to a rough sketch, context usually makes clear which sense is meant.
