What does SOUSE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To plunge or soak something thoroughly in liquid, especially in brine, vinegar or pickle.
To souse something is to drench or immerse it completely, most often in the context of pickling meat or fish in a salty or acidic liquid to preserve it. The related noun souse names both the pickled dish itself, such as pickled pig's feet or ears found in some regional cooking, and informally a person who drinks too much alcohol, since being soused means being drunk. All these senses share the same core idea of being thoroughly soaked through.
