What does TORRID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Extremely hot and dry, or, figuratively, marked by intense passion or activity.
Torrid describes scorching physical heat, as in the torrid zone near the equator, but English also stretched the word to intense emotion, calling a passionate love affair torrid. The same shift covers fast-moving situations in business or sport, where a torrid pace means relentless, hard-to-sustain activity. Across all these uses, torrid keeps the sense of something almost too intense to bear for long.
