What does RUTTED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Marked with deep, uneven grooves worn by repeated wheel or foot traffic, especially describing a road or track.
A rutted surface has been carved into long parallel tracks by the repeated passage of wheels or hooves, usually leaving it rough, uneven, and difficult to travel. The word describes country lanes, farm tracks, and dirt roads left unpaved and unmaintained, where mud hardens into deep channels after wet weather. Although rutted comes from the same root as the verb to rut, meaning to cut a groove, and the noun rut used for an animal's mating season, the adjective itself refers only to the grooves in a surface, with no connection to either of those other senses.
