What is a Scramble?

[Al Mirpuri]

I am new to the Golf forum and find it all interesting. One thing though is just what is a scramble? I have tried googling the term but the entries tend to be about word scrambles and even when it is about golf scrambles the term 'scramble' is not explained.

Thanks in advance for any and all responses.
