definition-
Supernatant means the clear fluid above a sediment or precipitate.
so, the whole word means,
The precipitate-free liquid remaining above the solid is called the 'supernate' or 'supernatant'. Powders derived from precipitation have also historically been known as 'flowers'. Sometimes the formation of a precipitate indicates the occurrence of a chemical reaction.
