What does AUTUMN mean in Scrabble?
noun
The season of the year between summer and winter, marked by cooling temperatures and falling leaves.
Autumn runs roughly from September through November in the Northern Hemisphere and from March through May south of the equator, sitting between the warmth of summer and the cold of winter. It is the season in which many deciduous trees shed their leaves and crops such as grain and apples are gathered in, which is why autumn has long been linked with the idea of harvest in English writing. British and Commonwealth speakers use autumn as the everyday name for the season, while American English favours fall for the same stretch of the year, though autumn is understood everywhere. The word itself comes from Latin autumnus and gradually replaced older native terms during the late Middle Ages.
