What does CREPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A very thin, light pancake, or a light fabric with a crinkled, wrinkled surface.
As a food, a crepe is made from a thin batter poured onto a hot surface and cooked quickly on both sides, then filled or topped with anything from fruit and cream to ham and cheese. As a fabric, crepe is woven or treated so that its surface stays permanently crinkled, which is also the source of crepe paper, the crinkled paper used for decorations. The two senses share a common root in an older word for something crimped or wrinkled.
