What does TYCOON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A very wealthy and powerful person in business or industry.
Tycoon entered English in the nineteenth century from Japanese taikun, a title that foreign diplomats used for the shogun who ruled Japan before 1868. American newspapers then picked it up as a nickname for powerful men of commerce, and the business sense has pushed out the Japanese one. It now fits a founder who built an empire in railways, oil, media or property.
