What does GLADY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Marked by glades, or resembling a glade, an open grassy space surrounded by trees within a forest.
Glady describes woodland broken up by open clearings, so a glady tract of forest alternates between shaded trees and sunlit patches of grass or low plants. The word is built directly from glade plus the adjective ending y, in the same pattern as woody or hilly, and it survives mainly in place descriptions and older regional writing about forest terrain.
