What does TURRET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small tower, especially one built at the corner of a larger building, or a rotating armoured housing for a gun.
A turret on a castle or grand house usually sits at a corner or above a gate and is often more decorative than defensive today, giving a roofline its pointed, storybook silhouette. On tanks, warships, and aircraft, a turret instead names the armoured, rotating structure that lets a gun turn to face a target without moving the whole vehicle. In manufacturing, a turret can also mean a rotating holder that presents different tools to a lathe in turn.
