What does TROOP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A group of soldiers or armed forces, or an organized group such as a Scout unit, especially one that moves or acts together.
Military writing uses troop for a cavalry or artillery unit of a defined size commanded by an officer, while the plural troops refers more broadly to soldiers as a whole, as in deploying troops overseas. Scouting organizations borrowed the same word for a local unit of members, so a Scout troop meets regularly under adult leadership much as a military troop once did under a captain. The related verb to troop describes people moving together in a loose group, as when tired hikers troop back to camp at the end of the day.
How TROOP is used
Common in military contexts for units or soldiers collectively, and also used for organized groups such as Scout troops.
- The troop set up camp before nightfall.
- A troop of soldiers marched past the town square.
- Her son joined the local Scout troop last year.
- The general reviewed the troop before the parade began.
