What does TRITON mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A large marine snail with a spiral, often brightly patterned shell, found chiefly in tropical waters and sometimes called a trumpet shell.
A triton belongs to a group of sea snails whose thick, spiral shells were traditionally cut and used as trumpets, producing a deep, carrying sound when blown through the tip, which is where the trumpet shell nickname comes from. Some kinds grow to be among the largest of all sea snails, with elaborately ridged and coloured shells prized by collectors. The name echoes the sea god of Greek mythology, who is often shown carrying a shell trumpet, though the everyday word refers only to the mollusc itself.
