What does CANOPY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A covering hung or held up over something, such as a bed, a throne or a doorway, to shelter or adorn it.
The word reaches English from a Greek term for a bed with mosquito netting, and it has kept the idea of a cover held overhead. A canopy can be a cloth over a four-poster bed, a roof-like porch over an entrance, or the clear hood of an aircraft cockpit. Naturalists use it for the layer of leaves and branches that forms the upper level of a forest, and parachutists use it for the fabric that fills with air.
How CANOPY is used
Very common in everyday speech, in ecology for the forest top layer, and in aviation for a cockpit cover.
- A white canopy hung above the old wooden bed.
- Monkeys moved through the canopy far above the river.
