What does VAPOUR mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
Mist, steam or fumes hanging in the air, or any substance that has been turned into a gas by heat; also a faint feeling of gloom.
Vapour is the spelling used in Britain and most Commonwealth countries, and it appears in phrases such as water vapour, vapour trail and vapour pressure. Beyond science the word has a literary side, since older writers used the vapours for fits of low spirits or fainting, and the verb meaning to talk emptily comes from the same idea of something airy and without substance. The word reached English through French from the Latin vapor, meaning steam.
