What does SOOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A black powdery substance made mostly of carbon that forms when coal, wood or oil burns without enough air and rises with the smoke.
Soot collects wherever smoke cools and settles, which is why the word soot is most often heard together with chimney, fire and exhaust: dark flakes line a flue, coat a pan held over a flame, or blacken a wall above a candle. Because the particles are fine and greasy, soot smears rather than brushes cleanly away.
