What does STUMP mean in Scrabble?
noun
The short section of a tree trunk that remains rooted in the ground after the tree has been cut down.
A stump is what is left behind once loggers or storms remove the main trunk and branches of a tree, and old stumps can take years to rot away completely. The word extends to other short remnants as well, such as the stump of a missing limb, a pencil worn down to a stump, or the stumps used as wickets in the game of cricket. As a verb, stump can mean to baffle someone completely, as in the riddle stumped everyone, or to travel around campaigning for votes, as in a politician who stumps across the state. Because a tree stump is low, flat, and solid, it has long served as an improvised seat, chopping block, or speaker's platform in rural life.
