What does LEMON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A pale yellow, oval citrus fruit with sour, acidic juice, grown on a small evergreen tree.
A lemon is valued mainly for its sharply sour juice and fragrant zest, both of which flavour drinks, desserts, sauces, and savoury dishes across many cuisines. The tree that produces it is cultivated widely in warm climates, and the pale yellow colour of the ripe fruit gave its name to a shade of yellow used in everyday description. In informal speech a lemon can also mean a faulty product, especially a car that turns out to be defective soon after purchase, a sense unrelated to the fruit itself beyond the shared idea of an unpleasant surprise.
