What does STEWY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalrare
Resembling a stew, especially in taste, texture or smell.
Stewy describes food, or sometimes a smell, that has the thick, slow-cooked character of a stew even when nothing was actually stewed. A soup thickened past its usual consistency might get called stewy rather than watery. The word stays close to its root, simply adding the ordinary -y ending used to turn a noun into a descriptive adjective. It appears occasionally in cookery writing rather than in everyday conversation.
