What does WAGON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A four-wheeled vehicle, typically drawn by horses or oxen, used for carrying heavy loads; also, various wheeled carts, toys, or vehicles with a similar shape.
A traditional wagon carried freight, furniture, or entire households across long distances before railways and motor vehicles took over that role, and the covered wagon remains a lasting image of overland pioneer travel. The word extends today to a child's small four-wheeled pull-toy, a British railway freight car, and the station wagon style of automobile with an extended rear cargo area. The idiom on the wagon means abstaining from alcohol, an expression that grew out of riding a water wagon rather than stopping at a bar. Across all these senses, a wagon keeps the basic idea of a wheeled vehicle built mainly to haul something.
