What does TUREEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large, deep dish with a lid, used for bringing soup or stew to the table.
A tureen usually stands in the middle of the table, and the soup is ladled from it into individual bowls rather than served already portioned from the kitchen. The word comes from French terrine, an earthenware dish, though a tureen itself may be made of porcelain, silver, or other fine material. Because a tureen is often decorated and displayed as part of a full dinner service, it can be as much an ornamental object as a practical one.

Used mainly in writing about formal dining, tableware, and cookery rather than in everyday kitchen talk.
