What does LANATE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technicalbotany
Covered with a dense coat of soft, woolly hairs.
Lanate describes a surface, usually of a plant or animal, that is thickly covered with fine, soft, wool-like hairs. Botanists use it constantly in plant descriptions, for leaves, stems or seeds whose woolly covering helps identify a species or protect it from cold and strong sun. The word comes from the Latin lana, meaning wool, the same root that gives English lanolin and other wool-related vocabulary. A closely related word, lanose, describes the same woolly quality and the two are often used interchangeably in technical writing.
