What does ZONER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person or thing that zones something, especially someone involved in dividing land into zones for planning or regulation.
A zoner is formed simply by adding the agent suffix -er to the verb zone, in the same way that farmer comes from farm or planner comes from plan. In practice the word appears mainly in discussions of urban and land-use planning, where dividing a city or region into zones decides what can be built where. Because more specific job titles such as planner or zoning officer are far more common in real administrative use, zoner itself is a rare word met chiefly in word games and dictionaries rather than in everyday professional speech. The same pattern also lets zoner describe a device or system that automatically divides something into zones, such as a sprinkler controller.
