What does MADDER mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A climbing plant whose root gives a red dye, or the red dye made from it.
Dyers have grown madder, a Eurasian plant, for thousands of years, and the crushed root colours cloth shades from rose to a deep brick red. The famous red coats of old armies owed their colour partly to it, until a synthetic dye called alizarin replaced the crop in the nineteenth century. The word madder is also the comparative of mad, but as a noun it names only the plant and its pigment.
