What does BEADY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Small, round, and bright or glittering, like a bead; often used of eyes that seem sharp and watchful.
Beady most often describes eyes that are small, round, and unusually shiny, an image that suggests a sharp, watchful, or even suspicious gaze. Writers reach for beady when they want to make a character or animal seem alert, sly, or slightly unsettling, since the word carries a faintly negative edge beyond simple physical description. The comparison comes directly from beads, the small round objects strung together in jewelry, whose glossy surface catches the light in the same way an attentive eye seems to. Beyond eyes, beady can describe anything small, round, and glistening, such as dewdrops or tiny berries, though the eye sense is by far the most common.
How BEADY is used
Adjective used almost always before or after the noun eyes, as in beady eyes or eyes that were beady.
