What does TOPIC mean in Scrabble?
noun
A subject that is discussed, written about, or studied.
A topic gives a conversation, essay, or lesson its focus, whether it is the weather brought up at a dinner table or a research topic chosen for a doctoral thesis. Teachers often break a broad course into smaller topics so that each class period covers a manageable piece of the material. Meetings usually follow an agenda listing each topic in the order it will be addressed, keeping the discussion from wandering. The word comes from a Greek root meaning place, reflecting the old idea of topics as the standard places a speaker turns to for arguments.
