What does FJELD mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A high, barren, rocky plateau found in Scandinavia, above the tree line.
A fjeld is the wide, treeless upland found across Norway, Sweden and other parts of Scandinavia, shaped by cold winds and thin, rocky soil. It sits above the tree line, so only mosses, lichens and low shrubs manage to grow there. Travelers and geographers borrowed the Norwegian word fjeld directly into English because no single native term covered the same landscape. The term is used mostly in descriptions of Scandinavian geography rather than in everyday speech.
