What does HULLY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Having, or covered with, hulls or husks.
Grain that is still hully has not been threshed clean, so each seed keeps its papery outer covering. Millers and farmers once used the word to distinguish such rough, unpolished grain from grain that had already been hulled. It is a plain descriptive term built directly from the noun hull, and it never spread far beyond agricultural use.
