How it's used
Describes the physical state of powders or liquids turning into solid lumps, often due to moisture or improper storage. It is commonly used in kitchen contexts, such as when dealing with flour, sugar, or powdered drinks. The structure often involves adding 晒 to emphasize that the entire substance has become lumpy.
Examples
The milk powder has been kept for too long and has already caked up.
Why is this flour clumping together?
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this for solid objects that are simply stuck together, as it specifically implies a transition from a loose, granular, or liquid state into a solid mass.
