What does MUMMY mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalBritish
A body, especially from ancient Egypt, that has been preserved by embalming and wrapped in cloth.
Ancient Egyptian embalmers removed the internal organs of a body, treated it with natron and resins, and wrapped it tightly in linen bandages to create a mummy meant to last for the afterlife. Museums today display mummies from Egypt and other cultures where similar preservation methods, or naturally dry conditions, kept a body from decaying. In British English, mummy is also a separate, unrelated childish word for mother, so context is needed to tell the two apart.
