What does TRUCK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large motor vehicle built for carrying goods or heavy loads.
Truck is the standard North American term for the vehicle called a lorry in British English, and it ranges in size from a small pickup truck used for personal errands to a heavy articulated truck hauling freight across a country. The word also survives in the older idiom to have no truck with something, meaning to avoid any dealings with it, a sense that has nothing to do with vehicles and instead comes from an old meaning of truck as exchange or barter. In American railway history, a truck also named the wheeled frame that supports a railway carriage, another sense unrelated to the road vehicle. Most speakers today encounter truck almost exclusively as the name of the road vehicle rather than in its older senses.
