To sprinkle lightly, as with sugar, crumbs, flour.
To sprinkle food lightly with flour, sugar or other dry ingredient.
Small solid particles that are created by the breakdown of larger particles by processes such as crushing, grinding, drilling, explosions, etc. Dust particles are carried around into the environment through operations such as shoveling, conveying, screening, sweeping, etc.
the smallest grade of tea, this is typically associated with lower quality, but is prized for its quick extraction and is commonly used in teabags.

Dust is a general name for minute solid particles with diameters less than 500 micrometers (otherwise, see sand or granulates and, more generally, finely divided matter). On Earth, dust occurs in the atmosphere from various sources; soil dust lifted up by wind, volcanic eruptions, and pollution are some examples. Airborne dust is considered an aerosol and can have a strong local radiative forcing on the atmosphere and significant effects on climate.
Dust in Philip Pullman's trilogy of novels His Dark Materials is a fictional form of dark matter (as we call it in our world), an elementary particle that is of fundamental importance to the novels. Dust is invisible to the human eye and can not be seen without the use of special instruments such as the The Amber Spyglass or a special film. However, while humans cannot see dust without the use of outside devices, creatures such as the mulefa are able to see dust with their own eyes.
Dust tea is a low-quality grade of fine grained black tea. Traditionally these were treated as the rejects of the manufacturing process in making high quality leaf tea like the Orange Pekoe. When leaves break or get crushed during the manufacturing process they are variously labelled as Broken Orange Pekoe, Fannings and dust based on the particle size.
Dust is a 1998 science fiction novel by Charles Pellegrino depicting a collapse of the planet's ecosystem due to the disappearance of insects.
In special and general relativity, dust is the name conventionally given to a configuration of matter which can be interpreted as small bodies ("dust particles") which interact only gravitationally.
