What does OTTO mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A fragrant essential oil distilled from rose petals, especially the damask rose; another name for attar.
Otto was once a common trade name for the concentrated rose oil used in fine perfumes, pressed or distilled from vast quantities of petals to yield only a small amount of the fragrant liquid. Modern perfumers more often say attar, so otto now reads as the older of the two names for the same oil.
