What does MORRO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A rounded hill or headland, especially one overlooking the sea in Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking regions.
The word morro entered English from Spanish and Portuguese, where it names any rounded rise of land, and it survives in English mainly through place names along Latin American and Iberian coasts, where a fortress or lighthouse often sits on top of a morro guarding a harbour entrance. Writers describing such coastlines sometimes borrow the plain word rather than translate it.
