What does GLAZE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A smooth, glossy coating applied to or forming on a surface, such as pottery, baked goods, or ice.
Potters cover their work in a liquid glaze before firing it, so that the heat fuses the coating into a hard, glassy layer that seals and decorates the surface. Bakers use the same word for a thin, sweet coating brushed over cakes, pastries, and doughnuts. In cold weather a glaze can also form naturally, when rain freezes into a thin sheet of ice over roads, trees, or wires.

The word is common in cooking, ceramics, and weather description alike, with no restriction to formal or informal use.
