What does SORREL mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A sour-tasting, leafy plant of the genus Rumex, used in salads and soups, or the reddish-brown colour associated with a horse's coat.
Garden sorrel has arrow-shaped leaves with a sharp, lemony taste caused by oxalic acid, and cooks use it in soups, sauces and salads across European cuisine. The same word also names a reddish-brown colour, most often used to describe the coat of a horse, and by extension a horse of that colour. Both senses come from the same French root, but they describe unrelated things, a plant and a colour.
How SORREL is used
Common in cookery writing for the plant, and in horse-breeding and equestrian contexts for the colour.
- The chef stirred chopped sorrel into the cream sauce.
