What does PRIVET mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A bushy shrub of the olive family, with small white flowers and dark berries, widely grown as a clipped hedge.
Privet grows quickly, tolerates harsh pruning and keeps its leaves for much of the winter, which is why suburban gardens are so often fenced with it. The flowers have a heavy scent that some people love and others find cloying. The berries are poisonous, so the plant needs care where children or animals roam.
