What does SYRUP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thick, sticky, sweet liquid made by dissolving sugar in water or extracted from plants such as sugar cane or maple, often used to sweeten food and drinks.
Syrup covers a wide range of sweet liquids, from the golden syrup poured over pancakes to the flavoured syrup used to sweeten a cough medicine or a cocktail. Most kinds are made simply by dissolving a large amount of sugar in water, sometimes with added flavouring, though maple syrup and cane syrup are instead extracted directly from a plant. Because it does not spoil as easily as fresh fruit, syrup was historically an important way to preserve fruit juice, and jars of homemade fruit syrup are still common in many kitchens. The word can describe anything from a thin pouring liquid to a much thicker, almost gluey one, as long as it stays smooth rather than crystallising into sugar.
How SYRUP is used
Very common in everyday cooking and food writing, used for the sweet liquid itself and for anything sold or made this way.
