What does MARRON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large, sweet variety of chestnut, especially one prepared or preserved as a delicacy.
Marron reached English from French, where it names the chestnut directly, and the word is most familiar in Britain through the dessert marrons glaces, chestnuts candied and coated in sugar syrup. Confusingly, the same word also names a large Australian freshwater crayfish farmed for food, a completely different creature that happens to share the name. Both the nut and the crayfish have lent their name to a dark brownish-red colour close to maroon, and context usually makes clear which marron is meant.
How MARRON is used
Chiefly a culinary word in Britain; in Australia, marron more often refers to the crayfish rather than the chestnut.
