What does EAGLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large, powerful bird of prey known for its keen eyesight, hooked bill, and broad wings built for soaring at great heights.
An eagle hunts by sight rather than smell, and its eyesight is sharp enough to spot small prey from a great distance while circling high above open ground. Several very different birds carry the name eagle, from the bald eagle chosen as a national emblem of the United States to the golden eagle found across much of the Northern Hemisphere. In golf, the same word describes a score of two strokes under par on a single hole, a scoring term that has nothing to do with the bird beyond its sense of achievement. Eagle feathers and images have long served as symbols of strength and freedom, appearing on flags, coins, and military insignia around the world.
How EAGLE is used
Used for the bird itself and, in golf, for a hole finished two strokes under par.
- The eagle circled overhead for several minutes before diving toward the field.
- A bald eagle nested in the tall pine beside the river.
- He shouted with joy after scoring an eagle on the difficult par-five hole.
- The coin bore the image of an eagle with outstretched wings.
- Wildlife photographers waited all day for the eagle to return to its nest.
