What does BREAST mean in Scrabble?
noun
The front part of the body between the neck and the abdomen in humans and animals, including in women either of the two milk-producing organs on the chest.
In humans, breast usually refers to the mammary gland at the front of the chest, which produces milk after childbirth, though the word also names the whole chest area in older or more general use, as in clasping something close to the breast. Butchers and cooks use the same word for a cut of meat, such as a chicken breast or a breast of lamb, taken from the front of the animal. Breast can also work as a verb, meaning to face and push forward against something, as sailors once spoke of a ship breasting the waves. The word appears widely in older phrases about courage and emotion, since the chest was long imagined as the seat of deep feeling.
How BREAST is used
An everyday word in anatomy, cooking and figurative speech about emotion and courage.
- The nurse showed the new mother how to feed from the breast.
- He seasoned the chicken breast before roasting it.
