What does WINTER mean in Scrabble?
noun
The coldest season of the year, lying between autumn and spring.
Winter brings the shortest days and the lowest temperatures in the temperate parts of the world, and in the northern hemisphere it runs roughly from December to February. Beyond the calendar sense, the word works as a verb for passing the cold months somewhere, as migrating birds and many city dwellers do, and for keeping plants or livestock safe through them. The Old English form is related to a root meaning wet or water, which reflects the rain and snow of the season.
