Answer

PRUNE

PRUNE has two main meanings: as a noun, it refers to a dried plum, often associated with digestive health. As a verb, it means to trim or cut away dead or overgrown branches from a tree or shrub. The word comes from the Old French 'proigne' meaning plum, which itself derives from Latin 'prunum.'

Strategy Tip

Words with the PR blend at the start are fairly common in English. If you have confirmed a P in position one, trying words with common consonant blends like PR, PL, or SP can help you narrow down quickly.
