What does EARTHY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Like soil in smell, taste, colour or texture, or frank and unrefined in a down-to-earth way.
Earthy has two main lines of use. In the physical line it describes things that remind you of damp ground, such as mushrooms, beetroot, certain wines and the smell after rain. In the personal line it describes people and humour that are plain, robust and unembarrassed about bodily or ordinary things. The word is usually friendly, praising honesty over polish, although in older writing it could simply mean worldly rather than spiritual.
