What does MEALY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Covered with or resembling ground grain; dry, soft, and slightly granular in texture.
Mealy comes straight from meal, the coarse flour ground from grain, and it first described anything dusted with that powder or crumbling the same way. Cooks still call a potato mealy when it falls apart into dry granules rather than staying firm, and the same word describes a pale, blotchy complexion or the dusty coating on certain moths and plant leaves. The sense has spread from flour itself to anything with that dry, grainy softness.
