What does SEREIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
literaryrare
A fine, misty rain that falls after sunset from a sky where no clouds are visible.
Serein describes a specific weather puzzle: rain seems to fall even though the sky overhead looks entirely clear, an effect meteorologists explain by moisture drifting in from clouds too distant or too thin to be seen from the ground. English borrowed serein directly from French, and the word kept its narrow, technical meaning rather than broadening into a general term for light rain. Because the phenomenon is uncommon and easy to overlook, serein turns up mainly in older nature writing and in meteorological glossaries rather than in daily forecasts. Writers describing tropical evenings sometimes reach for serein precisely because ordinary words like drizzle do not capture the clear sky above it.
