What does PINERY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A grove or forest of pine trees; also, in older gardening, a hothouse where pineapples are grown.
The forest sense is the one most often met now, especially in North America, where a pinery meant a stand of pines cut for timber. The greenhouse sense belongs to Victorian estates, when growing pineapples under glass was a mark of wealth. Both meanings come from the same root, since the fruit was named for its resemblance to a pine cone.
