What does SIVER mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
A Scots dialect word for a street drain or gutter, or the grating that covers one.
A siver typically runs along the edge of a road or close, carrying away rainwater and waste in the way a modern drain does. The word is chiefly associated with older Scots speech and appears in regional writing about towns and streets rather than in standard everyday English. It is also spelled syver, and some sources treat the two spellings as equally established variants of the same term. A separate, unrelated sense of siver describes simmering food gently, but the drain meaning is the one most often recorded in word lists.
