What does MUSKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having a strong, earthy smell similar to that of musk.
Musk itself is a strong-smelling substance once taken from glands of the musk deer and now mostly synthesised for perfumes, and musky describes any scent that recalls its warm, animal-like quality. Wines, colognes and even certain plants or animals can be described as musky when they share this deep, slightly sweet undertone. The word usually signals an intense or lingering smell rather than a light or fresh one.
