What does CODDLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To treat someone with too much care and protection, or to cook an egg gently in water just below boiling.
Parents are said to coddle a child when they shield it from every difficulty, and the word usually carries a mild criticism. In the kitchen the older sense survives: a coddled egg is cooked slowly in hot water that never reaches a full boil, so the white sets softly. The same word names an Irish dish, a stew of sausage and bacon.
