What does BURRY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Covered with or full of burs, the small prickly seed cases that catch on fur and clothing.
Burry describes wool, fur or fabric that has picked up burs, the spiky seed pods that cling to anything that brushes past them. Sheep farmers in particular use the word for a fleece thick with burs, since the burs lower the value of the wool and are troublesome to remove.
