What does EROTIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Relating to or tending to arouse sexual desire.
Erotic describes anything meant to stir sexual feeling, from a poem or painting to a look or a piece of music, and it is used both as a neutral descriptive term in art criticism and more loosely in everyday speech. The word traces back to Eros, the Greek god of love and desire, and it entered English through a long tradition of writing about love poetry. It is generally treated as a fairly formal or literary word rather than a coarse one.
