What does PEASE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
An old singular and plural form of pea, the small round edible seed of a climbing plant, now surviving mainly in fixed phrases.
Pease was originally treated as a single word covering both one seed and many, much like the modern English word sheep. Because it ended in a sound that resembled a plural, later speakers reanalyzed it and invented the new singular pea, leaving pease as an older and increasingly archaic form. The word survives today chiefly in the traditional dish pease pudding, made from boiled and mashed dried peas, and in the well-known nursery rhyme that begins pease porridge hot. Outside these fixed expressions, pease has been replaced entirely by pea and peas in ordinary speech.
