What does CONEY mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicliterary
A rabbit, especially the common European rabbit or its fur.
Coney was the everyday English word for a rabbit for centuries before rabbit itself, originally used only for the young animal, gradually took over as the general term, leaving coney to sound old-fashioned and literary today. Furriers still sometimes use coney for cheap rabbit fur sold as an imitation of pricier pelts. Older Bible translations also apply coney to the hyrax, a small, rock-dwelling mammal of the Middle East and Africa that is not closely related to the rabbit at all, a use that has confused readers for generations. The New York neighborhood Coney Island is said to take its own name from the rabbits once common on the site.
