What does BENNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A common name for wood avens, a low, yellow-flowered plant of the rose family long used in folk medicine and once believed to ward off evil.
Herb bennet, the plant's fuller traditional name, grows wild across hedgerows and woodland edges in Europe and comes from the same family as the rose and the strawberry, though its small yellow flowers look nothing like either. Medieval households valued the plant's clove-scented root, brewing it into remedies for stomach trouble and hanging sprigs indoors as a charm believed to protect against evil spirits and disease. Related North American plants, such as a white-flowered species, share the plain name bennet too, showing how loosely the common name has been applied across similar species.
