What does ALBINO mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A person, animal, or plant with little or no natural pigment in the skin, hair, fur, or feathers, a condition called albinism that often leaves the eyes pale pink or red.
Albinism arises from a genetic condition that limits or blocks the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for normal coloring, so an albino typically appears strikingly pale or white compared with others of its species. The condition has been documented across many species, from mice and elephants to entire plants that lack chlorophyll in patches, not only in humans. Doctors and biologists use albino as a plain descriptive term for this pigment condition, without any judgment attached to the word itself.

A neutral medical and biological term for an individual with albinism, applied equally to humans, animals, and plants.
