What does MILCH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaicliterary
Kept or valued for giving milk, said especially of a cow or goat.
Milch survives almost entirely in the fixed phrase milch cow, where it marks an animal raised specifically for milking rather than for meat or work. The word comes from an old Germanic root shared with milk itself, and once had wider use describing any milk-giving livestock. Modern farming vocabulary has largely replaced it with plainer terms such as dairy, so milch now reads as old-fashioned. Writers reach for it mainly to give a sentence a rural, old-world tone.
How MILCH is used
Archaic and literary; found in older farming texts, translations and set phrases rather than in ordinary modern speech.
