What does ANERGY mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A state in which the immune system fails to respond to a substance it would normally react against.

It can be a useful safeguard, because it stops the body from attacking its own tissue, but it can also let an infection or a tumour go unchallenged. A looser, older meaning is simply a lack of energy.
