What does WETHER mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A male sheep, or sometimes a goat, that has been castrated.
Farmers keep wethers for their wool and their meat, because they are calmer than rams and do not breed. A flock may include a bellwether, a wether that wears a bell and leads the others, and that sense gave English the word bellwether for anyone who leads or shows a trend. The spelling should not be confused with weather, which sounds the same but means the state of the sky.
