What does ECO mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Relating to the environment or designed not to harm it.
Eco works as a prefix and now increasingly as a word on its own, and the root is Greek for a household — the very same one that gives economy. It became a marketing term so quickly that seeing it on a label now tells a buyer almost nothing.
