What does TARIFF mean in Scrabble?
noun
A tax charged on goods brought into or sent out of a country, or a list of fixed charges.
Governments set a tariff to raise money or to make foreign goods more expensive than local ones. The word also names a published scale of prices, so a hotel, a taxi service or an electricity supplier may all have a tariff. In British usage a tariff often means the rate a customer pays for gas, electricity or a phone plan. It reached English through Italian and, further back, Arabic.
