What does ASTHMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A long-term lung condition in which the airways narrow and swell, causing wheezing and shortness of breath.
People with asthma have airways that react strongly to triggers such as dust, pollen, cold air, exercise or smoke. Attacks vary from mild tightness to a serious emergency, and many sufferers carry an inhaler to open the airways quickly. The word reaches English from a Greek term for panting, which fits the laboured breathing it describes.
