What does PINEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Smelling of or resembling pine trees; covered with or full of pine trees.
Piney describes a smell, taste or landscape that brings pine trees to mind, whether that is a piney forest covering a hillside or a piney scent coming from a cleaning product or candle. The word is an informal variant of the older spelling piny, and both are used more or less interchangeably. It appears often in casual description rather than in careful botanical writing, where a more precise term would be used instead. The association is almost always with the sharp, resinous smell of pine needles and sap rather than with the shape of the tree.
