What does BRUME mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
Mist or fog, especially a heavy or drifting mist, used chiefly in literary description.
Writers reach for brume when ordinary fog feels too plain for the mood of a passage, using the word to lend a scene a heavier, more atmospheric or old-fashioned quality than a simple weather report would need. A character walking through a brume in a novel is usually moving through more than just poor visibility, since the word often signals mystery, melancholy or a sense of the unknown pressing in from every side. English borrowed brume from French, where the same word still means ordinary fog in plain, everyday speech rather than anything especially poetic. Outside descriptive and literary writing, brume rarely appears at all, since weather forecasts and casual conversation stick firmly to the far more common words fog or mist.
How BRUME is used
