What does PADI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A field where rice is grown in standing water.
The word is Malay and English took it twice, once as padi and once as paddy, so both spellings are correct and the second is commoner. It names the field and also the crop still in its husk, which is why a sack can be labelled padi and contain no field at all.
