What does AREOLA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medicalbotany
A small, roughly circular area that is visibly different from the surface around it, most familiarly the ring of pigmented skin surrounding the human nipple.
In anatomy, the areola darkens and expands somewhat during pregnancy and helps guide a nursing infant toward the nipple. Beyond the body, botanists and entomologists use the same word for any small, distinct patch, such as the tiny spaces bordered by veins on a leaf or the pale ring sometimes found around an insect bite. The plural form areolae reflects the word's Latin origin, meaning a small open space.
