What does WATTLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A framework of woven sticks used for fences and walls, or the fleshy fold of skin that hangs from the throat of a turkey or similar bird.
Builders once made huts and sheep pens by weaving flexible rods between upright stakes, and a plaster of clay on top gave the classic wattle and daub wall. In Australia the same word names the acacia, whose bark was used in tanning, and the golden wattle is the national floral emblem. As a verb it means to weave twigs together into such a structure.
