What does OASIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fertile place in a desert where water is found, usually supporting palm trees, other vegetation, and often a settlement.
An oasis forms where underground water rises close enough to the surface to be reached by plant roots or a well, creating a green patch surrounded by miles of dry sand and rock. Traders crossing deserts such as the Sahara have long relied on a chain of oases to rest, water their animals, and resupply, and many grew into permanent towns. The word is also used figuratively for any calm, pleasant spot amid something harsh or exhausting, as in an oasis of quiet in a noisy city. Both senses keep the same contrast between the oasis itself and the difficult surroundings around it.
How OASIS is used
Used literally of desert water sources and very commonly in figurative speech for any welcome patch of calm or relief.
