What does MOOSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A very large deer with broad, flattened antlers, native to the forests of northern North America.
A moose is the biggest living member of the deer family, standing taller at the shoulder than a horse, with the bull carrying wide, paddle-shaped antlers that regrow every year. It favours swampy forest and lake country, where it wades into shallow water to feed on plants. The same animal is called an elk across much of Europe, which can confuse readers moving between British and North American English.
How MOOSE is used
Standard North American term for the animal; British English usually reserves elk for it instead.
