What does SOWN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having had seed scattered or planted in the ground.
Farmers inspect a field soon after it has been sown to check that moisture and temperature are right for germination. The term describes the completed action of planting, distinguishing a field that is merely prepared from one where seed has actually gone into the soil. Weather immediately following planting has a major effect on how evenly a sown area will sprout.
How SOWN is used
Typically describes a field, plot, or area only after seed has been planted, not before.
- The freshly sown field turned green within two weeks.
- Birds picked at the seeds in the newly sown plot.
- Rain fell gently over the sown rows the very next day.
- By April, the sown meadow was dotted with young shoots.
- Farmers marked which sections of the sown field needed more water.
