What does ARROZ mean in Scrabble?
noun
Rice, especially as the term appears in Spanish and Portuguese dishes named in English.
Arroz is the Spanish and Portuguese word for rice, and it appears in English mainly inside the names of dishes borrowed from those languages, such as arroz con pollo or arroz negro. English speakers rarely use the word to mean rice on its own, keeping it instead as part of a fixed recipe name. Its presence in an English text usually signals a Spanish- or Portuguese-influenced cuisine.
