What does STEPPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A vast, flat, treeless grassland, especially the kind that stretches across southeastern Europe and Siberia.
The steppe is defined by its climate as much as its shape: summers are hot, winters bitterly cold, and rain is too scarce for forests but enough for grass. The word came into English from Russian, and it still carries a flavour of Eurasian distance and emptiness. Geographers use it for the temperate grasslands of Central Asia, and the American prairie and the South African veld are often described as close cousins.
