What does FANEGA mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A Spanish unit for measuring dry goods such as grain, roughly a bushel and a half, also used for a measure of land.
The fanega was the standard way to sell wheat, maize and cacao in Spain and across its former American colonies. Its exact size changed from region to region, so old trade records must be read with the local value in mind. The plural is fanegas, and a related land measure called the fanegada is based on how much ground one fanega of seed could sow.
