What does VELDT mean in Scrabble?
noun
South African
Open, untilled grassland or bush country across southern Africa, especially the elevated interior plains; also spelled veld.
The veldt stretches across much of the interior of southern Africa, and writers commonly divide it by altitude into the highveld, middleveld, and lowveld, each supporting its own grasses, scattered trees, and wildlife. The word comes from Afrikaans, where it simply means field, reflecting the flat, open character of the terrain. Accounts of farming, hunting, and travel in southern Africa, from colonial-era writing to modern nature documentaries, rely heavily on veldt to set the scene.
