What does TRACT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A stretch of land or water of indefinite size, or a short pamphlet written to argue a religious or political point; also a connected system of organs or passages in the body.
Surveyors and real estate listings use tract for a defined stretch of land, whether an untouched wilderness tract or a suburban tract of new housing built all at once on the same plot. In religion and politics the same word names a tract, a brief printed pamphlet meant to persuade readers of a particular belief or cause, a use that goes back centuries to early religious pamphleteering. Doctors also speak of a tract inside the body, such as the digestive tract or respiratory tract, describing the connected passage through which food or air travels. These three senses share the underlying idea of something extended or drawn out along a continuous line.
