What does GOMUTI mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A palm of Southeast Asia, Arenga pinnata, or the black horsehair-like fibre taken from its leaf bases.
The gomuti palm gives several useful products at once: a sweet sap used for sugar and drink, starchy pith similar to sago, and tough black fibre used for ropes and thatch. The word comes from Malay and reached English through travellers and traders. Because gomuti names both tree and fibre, readers need the context.
