What does ALMOND mean in Scrabble?
noun
The oval, pale edible seed of a tree related to the peach, sold with or without its brown skin.
An almond is the kernel found inside the hard stone of the fruit of Prunus dulcis, a tree native to western Asia. It is eaten raw, roasted or ground into flour and paste, and it gives its name to a milk made by soaking and pressing the nuts. Botanically the almond is a seed rather than a true nut, though cooks treat it as one. The word also names the tree itself and a pale tan colour, and an almond shape describes anything long and oval, such as eyes.
