What does LEMONY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Tasting, smelling or looking like a lemon.
Lemony describes anything that carries the sharp, bright quality of the fruit, whether in a cake, a cleaning spray or a pale yellow light. Cooks like it for a fresh, slightly sour note, and it is used for colours and scents as much as for flavour. It has its own meaning in speech, since a lemony taste is not simply the same as lemon.
