What does LUSTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Full of health, strength, and vigorous energy; robust and hearty.
Lusty most often praises a powerfully built body, a loud cheer, or a plant growing with thriving abundance. The word descends from the Middle English lust, meaning pleasure or desire, and older writers used lusty to hint at strong sexual appetite far more than speakers do today. Modern usage favours lusty for describing a loud voice, a big appetite, or the sturdy growth of a garden, giving the word an earthy, spirited feel. A lusty round of applause or a lusty laugh suggests exuberance and stamina rather than delicacy or restraint.
