What does PUTRID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Decaying or rotten, and giving off a foul smell.
Putrid is used for animal or plant matter that has broken down and stinks, such as meat left in the sun or water that has stood for weeks. It comes from the Latin putridus, from the verb putrere, meaning to be rotten. People also use it more loosely for anything thoroughly disgusting, including a smell, a taste or a mood. Compared with plain rotten, the word puts the weight on the stench.
