What does FUSTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Smelling stale, musty, and unaired, or seeming old-fashioned in attitude or style.
A fusty room usually means one where the windows have stayed shut too long, so the air turns damp and stale rather than simply dusty. The word also stretches from smell to attitude: a fusty club or a fusty rule is one that clings to old habits and resists anything new. Some dictionaries also list the older spelling fousty for the same sense. Either way, fusty carries a faint disapproval, as though the thing described has been left to sit for too long.
How FUSTY is used
Mildly informal in tone and used of both smells and old-fashioned attitudes; not a strictly technical term.
