What does WEAPON mean in Scrabble?
noun
An object made or used to hurt, kill or defeat someone in a fight or war.
Swords, spears, guns and bombs are weapons in the most literal sense, but the word stretches easily into argument and strategy, as when humour is called a weapon against fear. The word is very old in English, going back to the Old English wǣpen, and it once also covered the thorns and stings that plants and animals use to defend themselves. Legal writing often adds an adjective, such as concealed weapon or deadly weapon, to describe what was carried or used.
