What does GELATE mean in Scrabble?
verb
technicalchemistry
To form into a gel, or to cause a liquid to congeal into a soft, semi-solid state.
When a liquid begins to gelate, its molecules link together into a loose network that traps the remaining fluid, turning something pourable into something that holds its shape, like a set jelly. The word is used in chemistry, cooking, and manufacturing to describe this thickening process, whether it happens naturally as a mixture cools or is triggered by an added substance. It is closely related to gel and gelatin, both of which come from the same root describing this change of state.
