What does EMETIC mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A medicine or substance that causes a person to vomit.
Physicians once reached for an emetic to clear a poison or a spoiled meal from the stomach, and the remedy was a staple of old household medicine chests. Modern doctors rarely recommend inducing vomiting this way, because it can do more harm than good. The word also works as an adjective for anything that provokes nausea, and it comes from a Greek root meaning to vomit.
