What does SALIFY mean in Scrabble?
verb
chemistry
To turn a substance into a salt by combining it with an acid or base, or to treat or mix something with salt.
In older chemistry books, to salify a base meant to neutralize it with an acid so that the product was a salt. The word is built from the Latin root for salt plus the common ending that means to make. A weaker, everyday sense is simply to season or preserve something with salt. Modern writers use neutralize or form a salt instead, so the verb now appears mainly in historical texts and word lists.
