What does SUITOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A man who courts a woman with a view to marriage, or a party who brings a case before a court.
A suitor traditionally pursues a woman's affection with marriage in mind, calling on her family, sending letters, or competing with rival admirers for her attention, a role that appears constantly in older novels and fairy tales. The same word has an older, legal sense, naming anyone who brings a suit before a court, whether as plaintiff, petitioner, or simply a party with a stake in the outcome. Modern business writing has borrowed the romantic sense loosely, calling a company that wants to buy another firm a suitor, as though the takeover were a courtship. Across all these senses, a suitor is always the one actively seeking something, whether affection, a legal remedy, or a business deal.
