What does WEEVER mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small marine fish that lies half buried in sand and has venomous spines on its back and gill covers.
The weever is found in shallow coastal waters of the eastern Atlantic, where it hides in sand with only its eyes and its dark dorsal fin showing. Bathers who step on one can suffer a painful sting, so beaches in some regions post warnings in summer. The fish itself is also caught and eaten, and the word is often seen with a qualifying word, as in lesser weever or greater weever.
