Liquor vs. Liquid

An alcoholic beverage made by distillation rather than by fermentation.

The state of matter in which a substance exhibits a characteristic readiness to flow and little or no tendency to disperse, and is amorphous but has a fixed volume and is difficult to compress.

A rich broth resulting from the prolonged cooking of meat or vegetables, especially greens. Also called pot liquor.

Matter or a specific body of matter in this state.

An aqueous solution of a nonvolatile substance.

(Linguistics) A consonant articulated without friction and capable of being prolonged like a vowel, such as English l and r.

A solution, emulsion, or suspension for industrial use.

Of or being a liquid.

To steep (malt, for example).

(Slang) To make drunk with alcoholic liquor. Often used with up

Condensed by cooling

(obsolete) A liquid, a fluid.

Flowing readily; fluid

(obsolete) A drinkable liquid.

Having a flowing quality without harshness or abrupt breaks

A liquid obtained by cooking meat or vegetables (or both).

(Linguistics) Articulated without friction and capable of being prolonged like a vowel.

A parsley sauce commonly served with traditional pies and mash.

Clear and shining

Strong alcoholic drink derived from fermentation and distillation; more broadly, any alcoholic drink.

Existing as or readily convertible into cash

In process industry, a liquid in which a desired reaction takes place, e.g. pulping liquor is a mixture of chemicals and water which breaks wood into its components, thus facilitating the extraction of cellulose.

A substance that is flowing, and keeping no shape, such as water; a substance of which the molecules, while not tending to separate from one another like those of a gas, readily change their relative position, and which therefore retains no definite shape, except that determined by the containing receptacle; an inelastic fluid.

A liquid in which something has been steeped.

(phonetics) Any of a class of consonant sounds that includes l and r.

(intransitive) To drink liquor, usually to excess.

Flowing freely like water; fluid; not solid and not gaseous; composed of particles that move freely among each other on the slightest pressure.

(transitive) To cause someone to drink liquor, usually to excess.

Easily sold or disposed of without losing value.

To grease.

Having sufficient trading activity to make buying or selling easy.

Any liquid substance, as water, milk, blood, sap, juice, or the like.

Flowing or sounding smoothly or without abrupt transitions or harsh tones.

(phonology) Belonging to a class of consonants comprised of the laterals and the rhotics, which in many languages behave similarly.

A solution of a medicinal substance in water; - distinguished from tincture and aqua.

Fluid and transparent.

To supply with liquor.

Flowing freely like water; fluid; not solid.

To grease.

Being in such a state that the component molecules move freely among themselves, but have a definite volume changing only slightly with changes of pressure, and do not tend to separate from each other as the particles of gases and vapors do when the volume of the container is increased; neither solid nor gaseous; as, liquid mercury, in distinction from mercury solidified or in a state of vapor.

Distilled rather than fermented

Flowing or sounding smoothly or without abrupt transitions or harsh tones.

A liquid substance that is a solution (or emulsion or suspension) used or obtained in an industrial process;

Liquids have a fixed volume at any given pressure, but their shape is determined by the container in which it is contained. Liquids, in contrast to gases, cannot expand indefinitely to fill an expanding container, and are only slightly compressible by application of pressure.

A letter which has a smooth, flowing sound, or which flows smoothly after a mute; as, l and r, in bla, bra. M and n also are called liquids.

A substance that is liquid at room temperature and pressure

The state in which a substance exhibits a characteristic readiness to flow with little or no tendency to disperse and relatively high incompressibility

A substance in the fluid state of matter having no fixed shape but a fixed volume

A frictionless non-nasal continuant (especially `l' and `r')
