What does MOUSSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A light, airy dish made by whipping cream, egg, or a similar base into a flavored mixture, or a foamy product used to style hair.
Mousse gets its lightness from air whipped into cream, egg whites, or both, which is then combined with chocolate, fruit, or another flavoring and often set with a little gelatin. The same word crossed from the kitchen into the bathroom cabinet, where mousse also names a frothy foam applied to hair before styling to add hold or volume. Both senses share the same French root, meaning foam, and the same basic idea of a substance full of trapped air. Cooks distinguish a dessert mousse from a savory version made with fish, meat, or vegetables.

Common in cooking, where it names a whipped dessert or savory dish, and in hairdressing, where it names a styling foam; context usually makes the meaning clear.
