What does VISTA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A pleasing view, especially one seen along a long, narrow opening such as an avenue, or a mental view of a range of future possibilities.
A vista is often a view deliberately framed by trees, buildings or a valley, drawing the eye toward a distant point such as a mountain or a monument. Landscape designers and city planners sometimes create formal vistas on purpose, lining an avenue with trees so it opens onto a striking sight at the far end. Beyond literal scenery, vista is also used figuratively for a wide range of possibilities or future prospects opening up before someone.
