What does AREAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Relating to, measured across, or covering a surface area rather than a length or a volume.
Areal turns the noun area into an adjective, so an areal measurement is expressed in units of surface, such as square kilometres, instead of length or volume. Geographers and ecologists often speak of areal extent or areal coverage when describing how far something spreads across a map. The word rarely appears outside scientific and statistical writing, where precision about surface size matters.
