Hi Alan,

I think you dropped the "s" after the mean, since the "word" is singular. The correct way should be "what does this word means?" Don't you think so?

As far as what I remember---- we should use the main verb when we are using the helping verb "do, does, did" in a sentence.

I think, there is nothing wrong in his sentence.
