What does BUSHEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A unit of dry measure equal to four pecks, used mainly for grain and fruit; also the container that holds that amount.
In the United States a bushel of grain holds about thirty-five litres, while the British imperial bushel is slightly larger. Farmers and traders still quote the price of wheat, corn and apples by the bushel, and because the unit began as a volume it later got standard weights for each crop. The word is also used loosely for any large amount, as in a bushel of laughs, and in the phrase hide your light under a bushel.
