What does SPRAY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A cloud of fine liquid droplets thrown or forced into the air.
Waves breaking against rocks throw up a fine spray that can drift for meters along a windy coastline. Manufacturers package cleaning products, perfumes, and paints as a spray precisely because tiny droplets spread evenly over a surface. Gardeners also use spray as a shortened term for a pesticide solution applied through a nozzle to protect crops. A separate, older sense of spray refers to a small flowering branch, as in a spray of lilies arranged in a vase.
