What does ICICLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A hanging spike of ice formed when dripping or running water freezes in cold air.
An icicle grows downward from an edge such as a roof, a gutter or a rock ledge, as thin films of meltwater run to the tip and freeze there one drop after another. Heavy ones can be dangerous when they fall. The word is old, joining Old English terms for ice and for a small hanging thing, and it is often used in comparisons for something cold or sharp.
