What does DUST mean in Scrabble?
noun
Fine, dry particles of matter that settle as a powdery layer on surfaces, or, as a verb, to remove or apply such particles.
Dust forms from countless tiny sources, skin, soil, pollen, fabric, and collects wherever air is still, which is why it gathers thickest on shelves and in corners. The same word works as a verb both for wiping it away and, oddly, for sprinkling powder onto something.
