What does MASTIC mean in Scrabble?
noun
A pale resin from a Mediterranean evergreen tree, used in varnish, chewing gum and flavouring.
Mastic is gathered from cuts made in the bark of a small tree of the pistachio family that grows mainly on the Greek island of Chios. The resin hardens into brittle yellowish tears with a faint piney taste, and cooks add it to sweets, breads and a well known liqueur. The same word also names a thick, putty-like sealant that builders press into gaps around windows and tiles.
