What does LARINE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technicalzoology
Relating to or resembling gulls, the seabirds of the family Laridae.
Larine is a technical zoological term describing anything connected with gulls, the group of seabirds known scientifically as Laridae. Ornithologists use it in formal descriptions, for instance to say that a bird has a larine appearance, meaning it resembles a gull in shape or behaviour, or to place species within this circle more broadly. The word derives from Larus, the scientific genus name for many true gulls. It appears almost exclusively in ornithological writing rather than everyday descriptions of birds.
