What does DEATHY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Resembling death or having the look of it.
Deathy is an uncommon adjective that stretches the idea of death to something that merely seems to belong to it, such as a face, a silence or a smell. Writers reach for it when they want a plain, slightly unusual alternative to the longer deathly. Because it is rare, it stands out in a sentence and is better suited to descriptive prose than to everyday talk.
