What does PLANT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A living organism such as a tree, shrub, herb or grass, typically rooted in soil and making its own food through photosynthesis.
A plant differs from an animal chiefly in staying fixed in one place and building its food from sunlight, water and air rather than eating other organisms. The same word also names a very different thing, a factory or the machinery inside one, a sense that grew out of an older meaning of plant as anything set up or established. To plant, as a verb, is simply to put something in the ground so it can grow, and the same verb stretches to cover planting an idea, a spy or even a piece of false evidence. Gardeners, botanists and factory managers therefore all use plant every day, each meaning something quite different by it.
How PLANT is used
The living-organism sense is the everyday one; the factory sense belongs mainly to industrial and business contexts.
- She watered every plant on the windowsill before leaving for work.
