What does SAPID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
formal
Having a pleasant, distinct, and appealing flavor; savory and full of taste, the opposite of bland or insipid.
Sapid comes from the Latin word for taste and survives mainly in formal or literary writing about food, where a sapid dish is one that rewards the palate rather than disappointing it. Writers also stretch sapid beyond food to praise talk or prose that is lively and interesting rather than dull, echoing the same idea of something worth savoring. The word is far less common than its opposite, insipid, and most readers meet sapid only in careful or old-fashioned writing.
