What does STUNT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A difficult, dangerous, or spectacular physical feat performed to entertain an audience or to attract attention, often for film, television, or publicity.
A stunt is built around risk and display, whether it is a car jumping a ramp for a film scene or a publicity stunt designed purely to get a company noticed in the news. Professional performers who specialise in dangerous action sequences, called stunt performers or stuntmen, train specifically to carry out such feats safely on set. The word can also describe any attention-seeking act that has more show than substance, as in calling a politician's gesture a stunt. A separate, older sense of stunt is a verb meaning to check or slow the growth of something, as when poor soil stunts a plant.
