What does WAPITI mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A large North American deer with broad, branching antlers, known in North America as the American elk.
The wapiti is one of the biggest deer in the world, and the males carry impressive antlers that they shed and regrow each year. Its name comes from the Shawnee or a related Algonquian language and means roughly white rump, after the pale patch on its hindquarters. Europeans who first saw the animal called it an elk, which is why the name wapiti is often preferred to avoid confusion with the moose, which Europeans likewise name an elk.
