What does ARABLE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Suitable for growing crops by plowing and cultivation.
Arable describes land that farmers can plow and sow, as opposed to pasture kept for grazing or ground too poor, wet or steep to cultivate. Government surveys and land registries rely on the word to sort farmland into categories, since the same estate might hold both arable fields and rough grazing side by side. A field can move between arable and pasture use over the years depending on soil condition, crop prices and farming policy. The word traces back to Latin arare, to plow, which still shows through in its shape.
