What does ABLOOM mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Covered in flowers or in the act of flowering.
Abloom is almost always placed after the noun or after a verb such as "be", and it paints a picture of a whole garden, tree or field at its showiest. The a- at the front is an old prefix meaning "in", so the word once meant simply "in bloom". Writers reach for it in poems and descriptive prose, where the plain phrase would sound flatter.
