What does CALLUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A patch of thickened, hardened skin that develops from repeated pressure or friction, or the bony tissue that forms during the healing of a broken bone.
A callus on the skin builds up where a hand or foot rubs against something again and again, such as a tool handle or a shoe, and it protects the tissue underneath from further damage. Medicine also uses callus for something quite different: the new bony tissue that grows around the ends of a broken bone as it knits back together. Botanists borrow the same word again for the layer of healing tissue that forms over a plant cutting or a wound in bark, so callus covers three separate kinds of repair under one name.
