What does POTION mean in Scrabble?
noun
A liquid mixture, especially one believed to have magical, medicinal, or poisonous effects.
A potion is defined less by its ingredients than by its intended power, whether a witch's brew meant to transform someone, a healer's draught meant to cure, or a poisoner's mixture meant to harm. Fantasy fiction and folklore lean heavily on the word for magical liquids brewed from unusual ingredients, while older medical writing used potion simply for a dose of liquid medicine. The common thread across every sense is a drink prepared for a specific, often dramatic, purpose rather than for everyday nourishment.
