What does BREECH mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
The rear part of a gun barrel, where the ammunition is loaded; also, the buttocks.
In firearms the breech is the end nearest the shooter, and a breech-loading gun is one that is filled at that end rather than through the muzzle. The older plural form breeches gave us the garment worn on the legs, and the single word still has the meaning of the hinder part of something. In medicine the same word appears in the phrase breech birth, describing a baby who is born bottom first.
