What does SICKLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A farm tool with a curved blade and a short handle, used for cutting grain or grass by hand.
A sickle is swung with one hand while the other gathers the stalks, which makes it one of the oldest harvesting tools known. It differs from a scythe, whose handle is long and which is used standing upright. The curved shape is so familiar that it appears on flags and emblems, most famously paired with a hammer. The same word describes a crescent shape, as in the sickle moon, and a medical condition called sickle cell disease, named for the curved red blood cells it produces.
How SICKLE is used
Common as a farm tool and in compounds such as sickle moon and sickle cell.
- The farmer cut the wheat with a sickle at dawn.
- A thin sickle of moon hung over the hills.

- The museum displays a bronze sickle from the Iron Age.
