קצפת

Hebrew

Etymology

From קֶצֶף‎ (kétzef, “foam”).

Noun

קְצֶפֶת • (k'tzéfet) f (plural indefinite קְצָפוֹת‎, singular construct קְצֶפֶת־)

  1. whipped cream
  2. icing, frosting

Usage notes
  • Properly, with the niqqud קְצֶפֶת, this noun ought to be pronounced /kəˈtse.fet/; however, it is normally pronounced /kaˈtse.fet/, perhaps by analogy with שַׁמֶּנֶת‎ (shaménet, “cream”).
