What does CHURN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A container in which cream is agitated to separate butter, or the act of stirring, shaking or agitating something vigorously.
A butter churn traditionally works by paddling or turning cream inside a barrel or drum until the fat separates from the buttermilk, and the same word now names the machine used for that process on a farm or in a dairy. From this the verb to churn extended to any vigorous stirring, and further, in business, churn describes customers or subscribers steadily leaving and being replaced. A stomach can also churn from anxiety, a further extension of the same shaking sense.
How CHURN is used
Common word, used literally for the dairy device and figuratively for turbulent stirring, including in business jargon about customer churn.
- The farmer turned the handle of the old butter churn.
