What does APLASTIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Describing a condition in which an organ or tissue fails to develop or function normally, as in a bone marrow that stops producing blood cells.
In medicine, aplastic almost always turns up in the phrase aplastic anaemia, where the marrow simply stops making enough blood cells. The term comes from a Greek idea of not being formed. Do not confuse it with plastic in the sense of mouldable.
