What does TAILOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person whose occupation is making, fitting and altering garments, especially suits and other tailored clothing, to a customer's measurements.
A tailor differs from a dressmaker or a factory that mass-produces clothes because the work is built around one customer's exact measurements, with fittings along the way to adjust the fit. The same word works as a verb, meaning to make or adapt something to fit a particular need, which is why people speak of tailoring a plan or a speech to an audience even outside any talk of clothing. The trade goes back centuries and gave its name to whole streets, such as Savile Row in London, that became known for tailors.
