What does CRUST mean in Scrabble?
noun
The hard outer layer of something, such as the baked exterior of bread or a pie, or the rocky outer shell of a planet.
A loaf of bread forms a crust as its surface dries and browns during baking, while the softer crumb stays underneath, and the same idea of a firm outer layer applies to a pie crust holding a filling in place. Geologists borrow the same word for the thin, solid outer shell of the Earth, which sits above a much hotter and softer layer beneath. Both senses share the basic idea of a firm, protective covering over something softer or more fluid inside.
How CRUST is used
Common in everyday cooking and baking, and also used in geology to describe the outer layer of a planet.
