What does DEODAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A tall Himalayan cedar tree with drooping branches, valued for its timber and its use as an ornamental tree.
The deodar grows naturally across the Himalayas and is prized both for fragrant, durable timber and for its graceful, drooping shape, which makes it a popular ornamental tree far from its native range. Its scientific name, Cedrus deodara, comes from a Sanskrit word meaning wood of the gods, reflecting the reverence the deodar has traditionally been given in the region. English gardens and parks sometimes grow the deodar purely for its appearance, long after its practical value as timber first brought it to notice.
