What does VISOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A part of a helmet that can be raised or lowered to protect the face, or a similar shield fitted to a cap or vehicle to block glare.
On a suit of armour or a modern motorcycle helmet, the visor is the hinged piece that swings down to guard the eyes and face while still allowing vision. The same word names the stiff peak of a cap that shades the eyes from the sun, and the flip-down panel above a car windscreen used for the same purpose. All three uses share the same basic idea: a movable shield positioned to block light or protect the face.

Common in contexts involving helmets, caps, and cars, always describing a shield against light or impact.
