What does PASTE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thick, soft, moist substance, typically made by mixing a dry ingredient with a liquid, and used in cooking, crafts or as an adhesive.
Paste covers a wide range of substances that share a similar texture rather than a single recipe: toothpaste, tomato paste and modelling paste are all thick, spreadable mixtures, while wallpaper paste and old-fashioned school paste are adhesives made the same way. The word is also used for the imitation glass used in costume jewellery, cut to resemble gemstones. As a verb, to paste something means to stick it down with such a mixture, a sense that computing extended to inserting copied text or data into a document. The common thread across all these uses is a soft, workable consistency between a liquid and a solid.
How PASTE is used
Very common; covers food, adhesives and costume jewellery, and forms the verb to paste, including the computing sense of pasting text.

- The recipe calls for two spoonfuls of tomato paste.
- His cufflinks were made of paste rather than real diamonds.
