What does MYRRH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fragrant resin obtained from certain trees, used since ancient times in incense, perfume and medicine.
Myrrh oozes from cuts made in the bark of Commiphora trees and hardens into reddish-brown lumps that release a warm, bitter scent when burned or crushed. Traders carried myrrh across ancient Arabia and Africa alongside frankincense, and both resins were valued highly enough to be offered as gifts fit for royalty. Beyond incense, myrrh has long been used in perfumes, embalming and traditional remedies for its preservative and soothing properties. The word itself comes from Semitic languages, reflecting the ancient trade routes that carried myrrh through the Middle East.
