What does BARKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Covered with or resembling the rough outer bark of a tree.
A barky branch has kept its rough, fissured outer layer instead of being peeled or sanded smooth, so the word describes texture rather than color. Woodworkers and gardeners use barky to mark timber or edging that is still wearing its natural covering. The word is a straightforward adjective built from bark plus the suffix -y, on the same pattern as woody or leafy.
