What does ABELE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
The white poplar, a tree with pale, silvery-white undersides to its leaves.
Abele names Populus alba, a fast-growing species native to parts of Europe, Asia and North Africa and long planted well beyond that range for shade and shelter. Its English name traveled through Dutch abeel from a Latin root shared with albus, meaning white, a nod to how strikingly one side of the foliage differs in shade from the other in a breeze. Foresters and gardeners still favor the older label abele over the plainer everyday name, especially in older planting records and hedgerow surveys.
