What does COPSY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rareliterary
A rare adjective describing land or countryside that has many copses, that is, small clumps or groves of trees.
Copsy simply adds the adjective ending to copse, a small wood or thicket, and describes scenery dotted with these little groves rather than open fields or dense forest. It turns up mainly in older descriptive writing about the English countryside, where a copsy hillside or a copsy lane suggests a patchwork of small woods and hedgerows. The word is not part of everyday speech today and survives chiefly in literary description of landscape. It differs from woody or forested by pointing specifically to small, scattered stands of trees rather than continuous woodland.
