What does PAINT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A liquid or paste applied to a surface in a thin coat, that dries to leave a coloured or protective layer.
Paint is made by mixing coloured pigment into a liquid binder, and it dries by evaporation or chemical reaction to leave a solid film that protects wood, metal, or plaster while also giving it colour. The same word works as a verb, so a person can paint a fence or paint a portrait, covering a surface with the substance or creating an image with it. Beyond walls and canvases, paint also names the colour markings on a horse, as in a paint pony.
