What does CHERRY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, round, usually red fruit with a single hard stone, or the tree that bears it.
The cherry grows on trees of the genus Prunus and is eaten fresh, baked into pies, preserved in syrup or pressed for juice. The same word names the tree itself, its reddish timber, which cabinetmakers prize, and the deep red colour of the ripe fruit. In cooking, a cherry also decorates cakes and drinks, which is why people speak of the cherry on top.
How CHERRY is used
Used as a noun for the fruit, the tree and the wood, and as an adjective-like modifier for colour, as in cherry red.

- Every June the old cherry by the fence turns white with blossom.
