What does SIRUP mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A thick, sweet liquid made by dissolving sugar in water or extracting it from plants, an older spelling of syrup.
A sirup comes about the same way any syrup does, whether it starts by boiling cane juice, tapping a maple tree, or melting sugar into hot water, and the two spellings once stood side by side in American dictionaries and cookbooks. This form was the preferred choice in much official and scientific American writing well into the twentieth century, appearing on government labels and in agricultural reports describing corn and cane products. Modern usage has settled almost entirely on syrup, so a reader today mostly meets sirup in old texts, aging packaging, or dictionaries that list it as a secondary variant. Despite the different letters, sirup and syrup name exactly the same viscous substance poured over pancakes and stirred into tea.
