What does COBALT mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A hard, silvery-gray metallic element that is magnetic, or the deep blue color made from its compounds.
Cobalt is an element used in strong alloys, rechargeable batteries and long-lasting pigments, and it is part of vitamin B12 in the human body. Its compounds give glass and pottery a rich, deep blue, so the same word names that shade, as in cobalt sky or cobalt glaze. The name goes back to a German word for a goblin, because miners once blamed troublesome ore on mischievous spirits.
