Definition in Spanish

Word origin
From Spanish crema 'cream' plus the adjectival suffix -oso meaning 'having or full of', so cremoso literally means 'having a creamlike quality'.
Usage tips
- Cremoso describes texture rather than flavor, so speakers say yogur cremoso or una salsa cremosa, and the adjective agrees in gender and number (cremosa, cremosos, cremosas).
