What does RESEDA mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A plant of the mignonette family, or the soft grayish-green color associated with its flowers.
Reseda names a genus of plants best known through the mignonette, a garden flower valued more for its sweet scent than for showy blooms, and reseda green describes the muted, dusty tone that gardeners associate with its leaves and stems. Fabric and paint catalogs sometimes list reseda as a specific shade, distinguishing it from brighter greens by its slightly gray, faded quality. The word entered English from French, which had borrowed the Latin plant name directly. Reseda appears mainly in gardening writing and in descriptions of color rather than in everyday conversation.
