The word is commonly used in contexts related to food preparation and application of substances. For example, it might describe a sauce or condiment that is meant to be spread on bread, a cake, or another dish. It can also refer to materials that are applied to surfaces, such as paint or a coating, for decorative or protective purposes. The specific meaning depends heavily on the surrounding context.
