What does TREEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
Small household objects, especially bowls, spoons, and other utensils, made of wood; also used as an adjective meaning made of wood.
Treen comes from an old form of the word tree and once simply meant made of wood, the way a treen bowl was a wooden bowl rather than one of pewter or pottery. Collectors and museum curators later turned the adjective into a collective noun, so that treen now names a whole category of antique wooden household items, from butter stamps to spoons. Because wood decays and burns more easily than metal, surviving pieces of treen are often prized and carefully catalogued. Books on English domestic antiques regularly devote a chapter to treen alongside pewter and silver.
