What does ITCHY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having or causing an uncomfortable skin sensation that provokes a desire to scratch.
An itchy patch of skin can result from insect bites, dry skin, allergic reactions, or a fabric that irritates the surface of the skin. People also use itchy figuratively to describe a restless, impatient feeling, as in an itchy trigger finger or an itchy desire to travel. Doctors ask patients to describe an itchy area carefully, since the cause of itching can range from mild dryness to a more serious skin condition. Scratching an itchy spot often brings brief relief but can make the irritation worse over time.
