What does DEICE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To remove ice from a surface, especially the wings or windows of an aircraft, or to prevent ice from forming.
Ground crews deice an airplane before takeoff by spraying its wings and body with a heated fluid that melts existing ice and briefly resists new buildup during freezing weather. Cars, windshields, and even sidewalks can also be deiced, whether with a scraper, a chemical spray, or a built-in heating element. Airlines take the process seriously because even a thin layer of ice on a wing can dangerously change how air flows over it during flight.
