What does TRAMP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who travels from place to place on foot, especially one who has no fixed home; also, the sound or act of walking with heavy steps.
A tramp historically lived by wandering from town to town, often on foot and without settled work or lodging, a figure common in older literature and folk song. The same word also names the heavy, rhythmic sound of footsteps, as in the tramp of marching boots on a hard road. Sailors use tramp differently still, calling a cargo ship a tramp steamer when it has no fixed route and instead picks up freight wherever it is available. As a verb, to tramp simply means to walk with heavy, steady steps, often over a long distance.
