What does TRUNK mean in Scrabble?
noun
The main woody stem of a tree; also, an elephant's long flexible nose, a large storage box, or the rear luggage compartment of a car.
A tree's trunk supports its whole canopy of branches and carries water and nutrients between the roots and the leaves, and its rings reveal the tree's age when cut across. An elephant's trunk works as both nose and hand, letting the animal smell, breathe, drink, and grip objects with remarkable precision. Travellers once packed clothes and belongings into a large trunk for long voyages, a sturdy box that has largely given way to modern suitcases. In North American English, trunk also names the enclosed storage compartment at the rear of a car, called the boot in British English.
