What does TALCY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Having the texture, appearance or feel of talc; covered with or resembling a fine, soft powder.
Talcy describes a surface or substance that feels smooth, soft and slightly slippery in the way talc or talcum powder does, or that looks dusted with such a fine white powder. It is a rare word, formed directly from talc, and it turns up mostly in descriptive or technical writing about minerals, cosmetics or fabrics rather than in everyday conversation. Something talcy might be a rock with a soapy sheen, a powder-coated glove, or a fabric finished to give it a soft, slightly chalky feel. The word stays close to its source, always pointing back to the qualities of talc itself.
