What does PALMY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Marked by prosperity, success or flourishing growth, as in a golden period of a life or career.
People speak of the palmy days of a business, a career or an era to mean the time when it was thriving and everything seemed to go well, an image drawn from the palm branch as an old symbol of victory and triumph. The word carries a slightly wistful tone, often used when looking back at a period that has since faded. It can also describe a place thick with palm trees, though the figurative sense of prosperity is far more common now. Writers reach for palmy chiefly in reflective or nostalgic passages rather than in plain factual description.
