What does ANTIAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A poisonous latex obtained from the upas tree, once used to coat arrows and darts.
Antiar comes from the sap of Antiaris toxicaria, a tree native to Southeast Asia, and hunters in the region traditionally smeared it on blowgun darts and arrows to bring down prey quickly. The poison acts on the heart, and even a small wound from a treated dart could prove fatal to an animal. European travelers and naturalists spread exaggerated legends about the tree in the nineteenth century, describing it as so deadly that nothing could grow near it.
