What does PARAMO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A high, cold, treeless plateau in the Andes of South America.
A paramo lies above the forest line but below the permanent snow, and is covered in tussock grass and tall rosette plants such as frailejones. Mist and drizzle keep the ground wet, so the paramo acts as a sponge that feeds rivers below. The word came into English from Spanish, which took it from a Latin term for a barren land.
