What does RASPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having a harsh, grating sound or texture, especially describing a rough, hoarse voice.
Raspy most often describes a voice that sounds rough and scratchy, as though strained by shouting, smoking or illness, rather than smooth and clear. The word can also describe a rough surface or sound outside the voice, such as a raspy file scraping across wood or a raspy cough. It comes from rasp, the tool used to file down rough material, and keeps that same sense of harsh friction even when applied to sound alone. Raspy is used casually across speech and writing whenever something sounds or feels unpleasantly rough rather than smooth.
