What does GUNNY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A coarse, heavy fabric woven from jute fibers, most often made into sacks for carrying grain, coffee, or other bulk goods.
Gunny cloth is woven loosely and left largely untreated, which keeps it cheap to produce and strong enough to survive rough handling on docks and in warehouses. The fabric is almost never used for clothing because of its stiff, scratchy texture; instead it is sewn into large sacks, generally called gunny sacks, that hold everything from rice to potatoes. The word traveled into English from South Asian trade languages along with the jute industry itself, and it still carries a strong association with shipping and agriculture. Even now that many sacks are made of plastic, gunny sack remains the everyday name people reach for.
How GUNNY is used
Chiefly used in the compound gunny sack; the plain word gunny by itself usually refers to the fabric rather than a finished sack.
- The dockworkers stacked sack after sack of gunny filled with rice.
