What does ROBUST mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Strong, sturdy and able to withstand hard use, stress or difficulty.
Robust can describe a body in good health, a machine built to last, a design that keeps working under pressure or a plan that holds up under criticism. It also applies to taste, so a robust red wine is full and powerful rather than delicate. The word comes from the Latin robur, which meant oak, and the image of a strong tree still sits behind it.
