What does PEPPER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A hot, pungent spice made from dried berries of a climbing plant, or a hollow fruit of the capsicum plant eaten as a vegetable.
The word covers two quite different foods. Black and white pepper come from the peppercorn, the dried berry of a tropical vine, and have been traded across the world for thousands of years. The sweet and hot peppers of the kitchen belong to the capsicum family from the Americas, and were so named by explorers who found the heat familiar. As a verb, to pepper something means to scatter it thickly, as with questions or bullets.
