What does ANKLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The joint connecting the foot to the leg, or the region of the body around that joint.
The ankle allows the foot to bend, rotate, and absorb impact while walking, running, or standing on uneven ground, which also makes it one of the most commonly sprained joints in the body. Doctors and athletes pay close attention to the ankle because an injury there can limit mobility for weeks. The word is also used loosely for the narrow part of the leg just above the foot, as when describing the length of a skirt or trousers.
How ANKLE is used
Used both as an anatomical term for the joint and loosely to describe clothing length, as in ankle-length.
- She twisted her ankle stepping off the curb.
- The doctor wrapped his swollen ankle in a bandage.
- His trousers stopped just above the ankle.
- The dancer strengthened her ankles with daily exercises.
- Water rose to ankle level in the flooded street.
