What does FURROW mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long narrow trench cut in the ground by a plough, or any groove or deep wrinkle resembling one.
Farmers cut a furrow to sow seed or to carry water between rows of crops, and the straightness of a furrow was once a point of pride among ploughmen. The word spread to any groove cut in wood, metal or stone, and then to the lines that worry or age carve in a face. It also works as a verb, as when a person furrows the brow in thought. The word has Old English roots and has kept its farming sense for more than a thousand years.
