What does PAMPA mean in Scrabble?
noun
regional
A wide, flat, treeless grassland, especially one of the great plains of Argentina and neighbouring parts of South America.
The pampa stretches across much of central Argentina and reaches into Uruguay and southern Brazil, and its deep, fertile soil made the region one of the world's great centres for cattle raising and grain farming. Travellers and gauchos crossed the open pampa on horseback long before roads or railways reached the interior. The word is often met in its plural form, the pampas, but pampa itself describes a single stretch of this grassland. Writers often use it to evoke the vastness and emptiness of the South American interior.
