jelly
Jiggly fruit spread
Jelly is a soft, wobbly substance that holds its shape but yields to pressure.
In American usage, jelly typically means a clear fruit spread made from juice rather than whole fruit—distinguished from jam, which contains fruit pulp.
British jelly is what Americans call gelatin dessert.
Petroleum jelly is a translucent ointment.
Jelly can describe anything with that consistency: My legs turned to jelly.
As a verb, to jelly is to set into that form.
Jellies are also a style of flexible plastic sandal.
