What does NUTRIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large, semi-aquatic rodent native to South America, known by the name coypu, or the soft brown fur produced from its pelt.
Nutria live along rivers, marshes, and lake edges, where they feed on aquatic plants and burrow into the banks. Fur traders once raised nutria widely for their dense, water-resistant undercoat, and the same word names both the living animal and the fur taken from it. In parts of North America and Europe, escaped or released nutria have become an invasive species that damages wetland vegetation.
How NUTRIA is used
Used both as the name of the animal and, in the fur trade, as the name of its pelt.
- A nutria slipped off the muddy bank and into the canal.
- The coat was trimmed with nutria instead of mink.
