What does CITRUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
Any of a group of fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit, that grow on trees of the genus Citrus and typically have a juicy, acidic pulp inside a thick, fragrant rind.
Citrus trees originated in Asia and now grow across warm regions of the world, prized both for their fruit and for the sweet scent of their blossoms. The word covers an entire genus rather than a single fruit, so citrus can mean an orange one day and a grapefruit or lime the next, depending on context. Growers graft citrus varieties onto hardy rootstock to combine disease resistance with good fruit quality, a practice that has shaped the citrus industry for over a century. Beyond the kitchen, citrus oils extracted from the peel flavour drinks, scent perfumes and appear in cleaning products for their fresh smell.
