What does XEROX mean in Scrabble?
verb
trademarkinformal
To make a copy of a document or image using a photocopying machine, from the trademark name Xerox.
Although Xerox is a registered trademark for a brand of copying machine, the lowercase verb xerox is used informally in everyday speech for photocopying on any machine, in the same way hoover is used for vacuuming. Style guides generally discourage the generic use in formal writing because it names a specific brand.
