What does FLUID mean in Scrabble?
noun
A substance, especially a liquid or gas, that has no fixed shape of its own and flows readily to take the shape of its container.
Fluid covers both liquids and gases because the two share the defining property of flowing and yielding easily to pressure, unlike a solid, which holds its own shape. In medicine, fluid often refers specifically to bodily liquids such as blood plasma, and doctors speak of a patient's fluid intake or fluid balance. The word is equally common as an adjective, describing anything that moves smoothly and continuously, such as fluid dance movements, or anything unsettled and likely to change, such as a fluid political situation.
How FLUID is used
Countable when referring to particular substances, as in bodily fluids, and uncountable when referring to fluid in general; frequently used as an adjective as well as a noun.
- The mechanic checked the level of brake fluid.
- Doctors monitored the patient's fluid intake closely.
- The dancer's movements were smooth and fluid.
- Gas and liquid are both classified as fluid in physics.
