What does CRUET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small stoppered container, often one of a matching pair or set, used to hold oil, vinegar, or another liquid condiment at the table.
A cruet typically sits on a small stand alongside a matching partner, one holding oil and the other vinegar, so that diners can season food without passing a large bottle around. The same word also names the small vessels used to hold the wine and water needed during a religious service, showing how the everyday container and the ceremonial one share both shape and name. Older cruets were often made of cut glass or silver and were considered an ordinary part of a well set dining table.
How CRUET is used
Used mainly for the small oil and vinegar containers found on a dining table, and occasionally for the vessels used in a church service.
