What does CARROT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A tapering orange root vegetable, eaten raw or cooked, or, figuratively, a reward offered to encourage someone to do something.
The carrot is one of the most familiar root vegetables, grown worldwide from a plant related to parsley and prized for its sweet, crunchy flesh and store of natural sugars and beta-carotene. Cooks eat it raw in salads and snacks, or cooked in stews, soups and roasts, and its bright colour has made it a byword for good eyesight in folk advice. Beyond the kitchen, English uses carrot figuratively for a tempting reward held out to motivate someone, most often paired with stick in the phrase carrot and stick, describing a mix of incentive and threat. The same word can also describe a red-haired person informally, from the vegetable's orange-red colour.
