What does MILTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
zoologyrare
Relating to or containing milt, the soft roe or semen of a male fish; also, relating to the spleen.
Milty draws on the two older senses of milt, the reproductive fluid of male fish and, separately, an old word for the spleen, so the adjective can describe either a fish in spawning condition or something spleen-related. The word is rare today and appears mostly in older natural history and fisheries writing. It survives chiefly as a specialized biological term rather than in everyday speech.
