Wasn't SCUMM originally the script _compiler_?  Although in the case
where a language only has one compiler, this distinction does become
rather vague...  :-)

In a comparison with Java (the language):

  SCUMM  <->  javac
  SPUTM  <->  java (the interpreter)

Or maybe I'm just raving.  That happens sometimes.  ;-)
