What does AMOLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
regionalbotany
A plant of the American Southwest and Mexico whose root produces a soapy lather, or the crude soap made from that root.
People in Mexico and the southwestern United States traditionally crushed the root of an amole plant, such as the soap plant or certain yucca and agave species, to release natural compounds that foam like soap in water. Because no manufactured soap was needed, an amole root served rural households for washing clothes, hair, and skin. The word entered English from Spanish and remains mostly regional and historical in its use today.
