What does USHER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person whose task is to guide people to their seats or the correct place, especially at a theater, wedding, or public ceremony.
At a formal wedding, an usher typically walks guests to their places and helps arrange the seating between the two families. In courts, schools, and some ceremonial settings the same title has historically applied to officials who kept order or introduced visitors, so usher covers a wider range of jobs than the modern theater sense alone suggests. The verb form, to usher someone in, grew directly out of this guiding role and later extended to abstract situations, as in usher in a new era.
How USHER is used
Usually a paid or volunteer role at theaters, weddings, and courtrooms; the same word also works as a verb meaning to guide or escort.
- The usher showed them to their seats just before the lights dimmed.
- A row of ushers stood ready at the church doors.
- Her cousin agreed to act as an usher at the wedding.
- The theater hired extra ushers for opening night.
- He asked the usher which aisle led to the balcony.
