What does COITUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
Sexual intercourse between a male and a female.
Coitus is the formal, clinical term doctors, biologists and psychologists use for sexual intercourse, favoured in scientific writing for its neutral and precise tone. The word comes from Latin, where it originally meant simply a coming together, a broader sense narrowed in English to this specific biological meaning. Medical and biology textbooks rely on coitus when discussing reproduction, fertility or contraception because it avoids the more casual or emotionally loaded words used in everyday speech. Outside clinical and scientific writing, English speakers almost always choose a more common expression instead of coitus.
