The answer
CREAM
What cream means
A thick, yellowish-white dairy product made from the fatty part of milk, used in cooking and as a topping or spread.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *creme*, borrowed from Latin *chrisma* (consecrated oil), which comes from Greek *chrisma*, meaning anointed oil or unguent. The word shifted meaning over time from a religious ointment to any smooth, oily substance, eventually settling on the rich fatty layer that rises to the top of milk.
