What does CARIED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Of a tooth or bone, spoiled by the rot known as caries.
Caried belongs to dentistry and older medical writing, where caries is the disease that slowly rots hard tissue. A caried tooth has a cavity that reaches through the enamel into the softer layer beneath. Modern dentists more often say that a tooth is decayed, so the word now turns up mostly in technical or historical prose.
