What does AROMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A distinctive, typically pleasant smell, especially one given off by food, drink, or plants.
Aroma leans toward smells that are agreeable or appetizing, which is why the word turns up constantly around coffee, wine, and cooking rather than around rubbish or exhaust fumes. Odour and smell stay neutral about whether a scent is good or bad, while aroma quietly promises pleasure before a single bite is taken. The related adjective aromatic describes plants and spices whose strong, pleasant scent is one of their defining features.
How AROMA is used
