What does GALORE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Present in great abundance, used after the noun it describes.
Galore is unusual among English adjectives because it always follows the noun it modifies, as in bargains galore or trouble galore, rather than coming before it. The word came into English from Irish go leor, meaning enough or plenty, and it keeps a lively, almost celebratory tone even in ordinary sentences. It is most at home in casual speech and advertising, where piling up abundance in a single word feels punchy.
