What does ROBLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
Any of several oaks or oak-like trees found in the Americas, valued for their hard, durable wood.
Roble is a Spanish word for oak that English borrowed to name a range of unrelated hardwood trees across the Americas, from the valley oak of California to certain beech and legume trees of Central and South America that share similarly tough timber. Builders and shipwrights have long prized roble wood for its strength and durability, using it in construction and, historically, in shipbuilding. Because Spanish speakers apply roble broadly to sturdy timber trees rather than to one botanical family, the English use of the word inherited that same looseness, covering trees that are not always closely related to the true oaks. The common thread across every roble is not close kinship but tough, useful wood.
