What does SUNTAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A darkening or browning of the skin caused by exposure to sunlight.
A suntan develops gradually as skin produces more pigment in response to ultraviolet light, giving pale skin a darker, golden-brown color after time spent outdoors. People often seek a suntan deliberately, lying in the sun or visiting a tanning bed, though dermatologists warn that the same process that produces a suntan also increases the risk of skin damage. The word works as a noun for the resulting color and as a verb for the act of acquiring it, so someone can suntan on a beach all afternoon. Suntan lotion, despite its name, is now used mainly to protect the skin rather than to encourage the tan itself.
