What does PLOUGH mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A large farm tool with a heavy blade, drawn across a field to turn the soil and cut furrows before seeds are sown.
The plough is among the oldest and most important farm tools, pulled in the past by oxen or horses and today by a tractor. It is also a verb: farmers plough a field, a ship ploughs through rough water, and a driver may plough into a wall by losing control. A snowplough, which clears roads, takes its name from the same idea of pushing material aside. This is the usual British spelling, while American writers prefer plow.
