What does TOKEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
An object or sign that represents or serves as evidence of a fact, feeling, or right, or that substitutes for money in a specific system.
A token often stands in for something larger or more abstract, as when a ring serves as a token of love or a small gift is offered as a token of thanks. In transport and gaming, a token is a physical piece, often coin-shaped, that substitutes for cash in a subway turnstile or an arcade machine. Used as an adjective, token describes something done only for the sake of appearances, as in a token gesture that has little real effect. Across these uses, a token always points beyond itself to something it represents.
