What does SPUMY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Covered with or resembling foam or froth; frothy.
Spumy is a literary word built from spume, the older term for sea foam, and it describes waves, surf or any liquid whipped up into a mass of froth. Writers reach for spumy when a plainer word such as foamy would sound too ordinary for a passage of elevated description, especially in poetry about the sea. The word is rare enough that most readers meet spumy only in literary contexts rather than everyday speech. It keeps the salty, maritime flavor of its root word spume even when applied to other frothy liquids.
