What does PLUMY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literarypoeticrare
Covered with, resembling, or suggestive of feathers or a plume.
A plumy tail or crest spreads out in soft, feathery layers, calling to mind the decorative plumes once worn on hats and helmets. Writers often reach for plumy to describe grasses, smoke or foliage that fans out in a light, feathery way rather than actual bird feathers. The word carries a slightly old-fashioned, poetic tone, so it appears more often in descriptive prose and verse than in ordinary conversation.
