kex - n., the dry, usually hollow stem or stalk of various plants, esp. of members of the parsley family such as cow parsnip.


Now there's a word for Scrabble players. Also written kecks and kecksy. Origin uncertain but dating to at least the late 14th century.

And that ends this week of Words My True Love Gave Me -- Monday it's back to the regular mix.
