What does SIMIAN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Resembling or relating to an ape or monkey.
Simian is the careful, slightly formal word for anything monkey-like, from a face with a sloping brow to a long-armed way of walking. As a noun it names an ape or monkey itself. Scientists use it for the group of higher primates, and the word comes from Latin simia, an ape. Used about a person it can sound mocking, so it is best kept for animals and biology.
