What sumac means (Wordle #1674)
In English, sumac means a group of shrubs and small trees in the genus Rhus, noted for pinnate leaves and dense clusters of reddish drupes; the dried, ground berries of some species are used as a tangy, lemony spice.
Sumac appears in cooking (especially Middle Eastern cuisine) as a sour seasoning, in landscaping as an ornamental plant valued for autumn color, and in industry for tannins and dyes; some related species, known as poison sumac, are toxic and cause skin irritation.

For example: She sprinkled ground sumac over the roasted vegetables for a bright, tart finish. Also: The hedgerow of sumac turned brilliant red in October.
