Flour

FLOUR, n. [originally flower; L. flos, floris, from floreo, to flourish.]
The edible part of corn; meal. In the United States, the modern practice is to make a distinction between flour and meal; the word flour being more usually applied to the finer part of meal, separated from the bran, as wheat flour, rye flour. This is a just and useful distinction.
FLOUR, v.t.
1. To grind and bolt; to convert into flour. Wheat used formerly to be sent to market; but now great quantities of it are floured in the interior country.
2. To sprinkle with flour.
