What does PURITY mean in Scrabble?
noun
The state of being free from anything that spoils, mixes with or contaminates the thing itself.
Purity applies to substances such as water, gold or a musical tone, where nothing foreign has crept in, and it also applies to moral qualities like innocence or a clean motive. Chemists express it as a percentage, while theologians and poets use it as an ideal. Because it suggests perfection, the word is also used in arguments about ideological or cultural cleanliness, where it is often viewed with suspicion.
