What does VAULT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A strong, secure room or chamber, often built underground, used for storing money, valuables, or important documents.
Banks build vaults with reinforced steel doors and thick concrete walls to protect cash and safe deposit boxes from theft, fire, and even bombs. The same word also names very different things depending on context: an arched stone ceiling in a cathedral is a vault, and an athlete's leap over a bar or obstacle using a pole or the hands carries the same name, vault. All these senses share a common Latin root meaning arch or turn, which explains why a curved ceiling and a metal strongroom ended up with the same English name.
