What does LAWNY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
poetic
Covered with or resembling a grassy lawn.
Older poets reached for lawny to set a scene beside trees or a garden, giving a landscape a soft, cultivated feel rather than describing rough wild country. The word is formed simply by adding y to lawn, the same pattern used for many English adjectives, and it survives mainly in verse and deliberately old-fashioned prose rather than in ordinary speech today. A separate, now largely forgotten sense once described a bishop's vestments as lawny because they were made from a fine linen called lawn, an unrelated meaning bound up with the fabric rather than the field.
