No. It is either an abbreviation for ounce, or a proper noun (Land of Oz, Australia, people's names). Therefore it does not qualify.
No. Oz is not a valid Scrabble word.
Oz "Oz" is not acceptable in Scrabble, if that's what you're getting at. ;-)
As far as i know Oz = Aus Generally a substitute for the word Australia e.g Made in Oz or I know someone who lives in Oz Also Ozzie = Aussie (a word for Australian)
oz
16.4 oz in word form is: sixteen and four tenths ounces.
The word 'born' is the past participle of the word 'to bear' in its meaning as 'to give birth'. The word 'borne' is the past participle of the word 'to bear' in its meaning as 'to be carried, moved around, supported'. In this sense, the sentence 'Oz was borne' therefore means Oz was carried. So the reference is more likely in regard to the Wizard of Oz than to the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz or to the actual land of Australia.
The abbreviation oz for the word ounce or ounces come from the old Italian word onza which meant ounce. The word in modern Italian is oncia.
The ounce = oz, from the old Italian word onza which is now spelt oncia

No, oz is an abbreviation, not a word. If your rules allow proper names, then yes, Oz, as in "The Wizard of Oz" would be acceptable. Official Rules, however do not allow proper names or abbreviations.
One explanation is from the Latin origin of the word. In Italian the word for ounce is onza (meaning one twelfth), therefore, we use oz as the abbreviation even though we have changed the word into English. Similarly the abbreviation for pound is lb. Again from Latin origin, libra.
The Italian word for ounce used to be spelled 'onza', so 'oz.' is an abbreviation for this spelling.
