Spoom
Spoom is a type of frothy sorbet made with a lighter syrup than that required for a true sorbet. As it begins to set, it is mixed with half its volume of Italian meringue. Like sorbet, it is made from fruit juice, wine, sherry or port and served in a tall glass. The name comes from the Italian spuma. In Italy, spumone is a light frothy ice cream made with egg whites, a flavouring and whipped cream.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Spoom
spōōm, v.i. to scud before the wind.—adj. Spoom′ing (Keats), foaming.
