What does PRUNE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A dried plum, dark and wrinkled, eaten as a fruit or used to make juice.
A prune begins as an ordinary plum before growers dry it slowly, either in the sun or in a dehydrator, until the flesh shrinks and darkens into its familiar wrinkled shape. Because drying concentrates both the sugar and the fiber of the fresh fruit, a prune has long been recommended as a natural remedy for constipation. The same word also works as a verb meaning to cut back a plant, a sense built on the same idea of trimming something down to a smaller, denser form.
How PRUNE is used
Also common as a verb, to prune, meaning to trim branches from a tree or bush, or more generally to remove anything unnecessary.
