What does HEATH mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
An open area of uncultivated land covered mainly with heather, gorse, and other low shrubby plants.
A heath typically grows on poor, sandy, or acidic soil where taller trees struggle to survive, leaving room for hardy shrubs instead. English literature often sets scenes of isolation or wildness on a heath, as in the storm scenes of King Lear. Beyond the landscape itself, the same word names the low evergreen shrub that dominates such ground, more commonly known as heather.
How HEATH is used
Common in British English for both the open landscape and the plant that covers it.
