What does TEST mean in Scrabble?
noun
A procedure carried out to find out the quality, performance, knowledge, or presence of something, often by trying it under set conditions.
A test can check a machine, a substance, a skill, or a piece of knowledge, and the word covers everything from a school test on Friday morning to a test of a new engine on a bench. What makes something a test rather than a mere look is that it is set up on purpose, with a clear question to be answered and usually some way of judging the result as a pass or a fail.
