What does HUSKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Of a voice: low-pitched, rough, and slightly hoarse.
A husky voice sounds rougher and breathier than a clear voice, often because of a cold, tiredness, or the speaker's natural tone. The word is frequently used to describe voices that are considered attractively deep or smoky rather than simply unwell. It can also describe a big, strong build in a person, though the voice sense is the most common.
