What does RUSHY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Covered with, full of, or resembling rushes, the tall marsh plants with slender hollow stems.
A rushy field or bank is one where rushes have spread thickly, usually because the ground stays wet or poorly drained for much of the year. Writers describing riverbanks, fens and boggy meadows often reach for rushy to suggest a rough, tussocky landscape rather than open grassland. The word is built directly from rush plus the adjectival ending -y, in the same pattern as grassy or reedy. Farmers sometimes treat rushy pasture as a sign that drainage needs improving before livestock can graze it comfortably.
