What does AGRO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
A student of agriculture or agricultural science, informal.
Agro began on North American college campuses as a clipped nickname for anyone majoring in farming-related coursework, the same instinct that shortens biology majors into bios. Because the same four letters also spell an unrelated British slang term for aggression, context alone tells a reader which sense is meant. Campus newspapers and yearbooks are among the few places the farming sense of agro turns up in print.
How AGRO is used
