What does CYDER mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
An old spelling of cider, an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink made from fermented or pressed apple juice.
Cyder names exactly the same apple drink that modern English spells cider, the two forms having existed side by side for centuries before cider became the standard spelling. Older cookbooks, historical accounts, and traditional cider houses sometimes keep cyder deliberately, using the antique spelling to suggest tradition or a long-established craft. The drink itself, whether spelled cyder or cider, comes from pressing apples and either fermenting the juice into an alcoholic drink or leaving it fresh and sweet. Today cyder survives mainly as a stylistic choice on labels and in historical writing rather than in ordinary spelling.
How CYDER is used
Archaic; occasionally revived on traditional or historical cider labels rather than used in everyday writing.
