What does LEAFY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having many leaves, or shaded and covered by abundant foliage.
A leafy tree or plant carries a thick covering of leaves, and the same word extends to a whole street, suburb, or park once enough trees give it that same green, shaded look. People also use leafy for vegetables such as spinach or lettuce, where the leaf itself is the edible part rather than a root or fruit. The word is common in everyday English, appearing in gardening, cooking, and descriptions of neighborhoods alike.
