What does AURAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
musicmedical
Relating to the ear or to the sense of hearing.
Aural describes anything perceived through hearing rather than sight, from the physical structure of the ear to the overall experience of sound. It appears often in academic and clinical writing, standing alongside the parallel term visual to separate what is heard from what is seen. Musicians and teachers use aural specifically for the skill of recognising pitch, rhythm or harmony by ear alone, as in an aural exam. The word comes from the Latin auris, meaning ear, and should not be confused with the similar-sounding oral, which concerns the mouth.

Common in music education, audiology and academic writing whenever a skill or experience is described as depending on hearing rather than sight.
