What does SURVEY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A general view or examination of something, or a set of questions put to a group of people to learn their opinions.
A survey can be a poll that gathers views from many people, or a careful inspection, as when a buyer orders a survey of a house before purchase. Land surveyors also use the word for measuring ground to make a map. The common thread is a wide look at a subject that tries to record what is actually there. As a verb it means to look over, to inspect or to question.
