What does RUDD mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small European freshwater fish related to the roach, with a silvery body and reddish fins.
The rudd is a fish of ponds, lakes and slow rivers across Europe, prized by anglers and easily told apart from its close relative the roach by its brighter red fins and eyes. It swims in shoals near the surface and feeds on insects, plants, and small invertebrates. Because rudd and roach can interbreed, telling one from the other is a common challenge for coarse anglers.
How RUDD is used
Used mainly in angling and natural-history contexts; a specific species name rather than everyday vocabulary.
- He caught a fine rudd from the lake at dawn.
