What does YONIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Resembling or relating to the yoni, a symbol of the female sexual organs used especially in Hindu tradition and in art criticism.
Yonic describes shapes, symbols, or artworks that suggest the form of the vulva, in the same way that the word phallic describes shapes suggestive of the penis. The word comes from yoni, a Sanskrit term used in Hindu worship to represent female generative power. Art historians and critics use yonic mainly to discuss imagery in sculpture, architecture, and painting, from ancient temple carvings to modern abstract work. The term pairs with phallic when writers want to describe a work as suggesting both male and female forms at once.

Adjective used mainly in art criticism and the study of religious symbolism, almost always alongside or in contrast with phallic.
