What does GEMMY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rareliterary
Sparkling or set with gems; resembling a precious stone in brightness.
Gemmy is an uncommon adjective describing something that glitters or sparkles the way a cut gemstone does, or that is thickly studded with small jewels, such as a gemmy tiara catching the light. Writers occasionally use gemmy for dew, frost or stars when they want to suggest a jewel-like sparkle without naming a specific gem. Because the word is rarely used in everyday speech, it appears mostly in descriptive or poetic writing rather than in ordinary conversation. It is built from gem with the same -y ending seen in words like foamy or filmy.
