What does OAKEN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Made of or resembling the wood of the oak tree.
Oaken is a somewhat old-fashioned adjective now used mainly for deliberate literary or descriptive effect, as in an oaken chest or an oaken beam, where a plainer phrase like oak or wooden would sound flat by comparison. The word follows an older English pattern of forming material adjectives with -en, seen also in golden and wooden, most of which have faded from everyday use. Writers reach for oaken when they want a sturdy, old-world tone.
