What does CREAM mean in Scrabble?
noun
The thick, fatty part of milk that rises to the top when milk is left to stand, or a thick smooth substance resembling it.
Cream separates naturally because the fat in milk is lighter than the surrounding liquid, though today it is usually extracted mechanically by a separator rather than left to rise on its own. Beyond the dairy product, cream also names any thick, smooth preparation with a similar texture, such as a moisturising skin cream or a rich dessert sauce. The word additionally serves as a figure of speech, as in the cream of the crop, meaning the very best of a group.
How CREAM is used
Usually uncountable when referring to the dairy product, but countable when referring to types, as in several creams and lotions.
- She whipped the cream until it formed soft peaks.
- He stirred a spoonful of cream into his coffee.
- The nurse applied a soothing cream to the burn.
- Only the cream of the graduating class received scholarships.
- The recipe called for both butter and cream.
