lathery
Covered in suds
Lathery describes something covered with or resembling lather—the frothy foam produced when soap meets water, or the sweat that forms on a horse or athlete during exertion.
A lathery face is ready for shaving; a lathery horse has been worked hard.
The word suggests abundance of foam or froth, often with a slightly messy or uncontrolled quality.
