What does MOLTEN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Melted by intense heat and still in liquid form, especially of metal, rock, or glass.
Molten describes a substance after solid material has been heated past its melting point, most often metal in a foundry or rock deep inside the earth. The word is an old past participle of melt, kept for this one specialised sense rather than the ordinary melted. Writers reach for molten lava or molten steel to suggest both extreme heat and a slow, glowing flow.
