What does FIERY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Consisting of or resembling fire, or, by extension, intensely passionate, quick-tempered or full of energy.
Fiery starts as a literal word for anything burning or glowing like flame, as in a fiery sunset or a fiery furnace, and then extends naturally to people and speech that seem to carry the same heat: a fiery temper flares up fast, and a fiery speech is delivered with real force rather than read flatly. The same shift happens with taste, where a fiery curry burns in a different sense entirely, and across all these uses the core idea stays the same: something behaving the way fire behaves.
