What does LOVAGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A tall European herb of the parsley family whose leaves, stalks and seeds taste like strong celery.
Lovage grows to the height of a person and returns every year in the garden. Cooks add its leaves to soups, stews and salads, use the hollow stalks like celery, and sometimes crush the seeds for flavouring. The name has nothing to do with love; it comes from an old French phrase meaning love ache, a folk plant name that was later mistaken for a charm.
