What does CLARY mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
Clary, or clary sage, is a strongly aromatic garden herb related to sage, grown for its use in cooking, perfumery and traditional medicine.
Clary produces tall spikes of pale flowers and large, wrinkled leaves with a musky, slightly sweet scent, and the plant is a close relative of common sage within the same genus. Its oil is distilled for use in perfumes and aromatherapy, and the plant was once thought to soothe the eyes, an old reputation reflected in the Latin name sclarea, related to clear. Gardeners grow clary both as an ornamental border plant and as a culinary herb.
