What does SPUME mean in Scrabble?
noun
literarypoetic
Light, frothy foam formed on the surface of a liquid, especially on breaking waves or turbulent water.
Spume is the pale, bubbly froth thrown up when waves crash against rocks or a shore, or when water is churned and mixed with air. Writers often reach for spume rather than the plainer foam or froth to give a scene of rough sea or storm a more vivid, literary quality. The word can also describe froth on other liquids, though the sea remains its most familiar setting.
How SPUME is used
