What does PALM mean in Scrabble?
noun
The inner surface of the hand between the wrist and the fingers, or a tropical tree with a tall trunk and large fan-shaped leaves.
The palm of the hand is used to grip objects and is central to gestures such as handshakes, while the palm tree was named for the resemblance of its spreading fronds to the fingers of an open hand. Both senses trace back to the same old word for the hand.
