What does OWLISH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Looking like an owl, especially in seeming solemn, wise or round-eyed behind large glasses.
Owlish is a favourite word of writers for a bookish person with big round spectacles and a steady, slightly startled stare. It is rarely unkind, since owls stand for wisdom in many stories, but it does hint at a face that blinks slowly and says little. It can also describe things that merely resemble an owl, such as the two lamps of a car.
