What does GENEVA mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A strong spirit distilled from grain and flavoured with juniper berries, the Dutch ancestor of gin.
The spirit was first made in the Netherlands, where it was called jenever, and the English borrowed and shortened the name until it became gin. Old books sometimes use geneva for either the Dutch original or for cheap English gin. The drink has no direct link with the Swiss city, although the spelling invites the confusion.
