What does LIME mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, round, green citrus fruit with a sharp, sour taste, similar to a lemon but smaller and more acidic.
Lime most commonly names the tart green citrus fruit used in drinks, cooking, and seasoning, and by extension the tree it grows on and the pale green color associated with it. The same word also names calcium oxide, a white mineral substance used in building and farming, but the fruit sense is the one most people reach for first.
