What does VOILA mean in Scrabble?
interjection
There it is — said when showing a result.
Voila is French borrowed whole and used in English for one purpose: to present something finished. It carries a small flourish, which is why cookery writing and stage magic both lean on it, and why saying it about something dull is a joke in itself. English drops the accent, and most speakers drop the French vowel as well.
