What does IVIED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Covered or overgrown with ivy; also, informally, of or relating to the Ivy League group of American universities and the traditional collegiate atmosphere associated with them.
Ivied most literally describes walls, towers, ruins, or trees so thickly covered in climbing ivy that the plant becomes part of their appearance, often suggesting age, tradition, or gentle neglect. The word appears constantly in descriptions of old universities, country houses, and churchyards, where thick ivy is treated almost as a mark of history rather than a problem to be cleared. From that image of ivy-covered college buildings, ivied also drifted into a looser, informal sense describing anything associated with the Ivy League and its traditional academic atmosphere, as in an ivied campus or ivied halls of learning. Both senses share the same picture of old stone softened by climbing green, whether the ivy is real or only implied by reputation.
How IVIED is used
Mostly literary and descriptive for the literal sense; the Ivy League sense is informal and always figurative, describing atmosphere rather than actual plant growth.
