What does DRAKE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A male duck, distinguished from the female hen duck.
Drake pairs with hen the way a rooster pairs with a chicken, marking the male bird among ducks of any breed, whether wild mallards on a pond or domestic ducks on a farm. In fly fishing, drake also names certain mayflies whose imitation lures are tied to resemble the insect at various stages, a specialized use that has nothing to do with the bird beyond the borrowed name.
How DRAKE is used
A basic farmyard and wildlife term, plus a specialist sense among anglers for a type of mayfly pattern.
- The drake's glossy green head made him easy to spot among the hens.
- Farmers usually keep only one or two drakes per flock of ducks.
- A young drake trailed behind the females across the pond.
