What does FEMUR mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The long bone that extends from the hip to the knee, forming the thigh; the largest and strongest bone in the human body.
The femur bears enormous weight and force with every step, which is why it evolved into the longest and densest bone in the human skeleton, and why a broken femur is treated as a serious injury requiring surgery in most adults. Its rounded upper end, the femoral head, fits into the hip socket, while the lower end forms part of the knee joint. Anatomists and doctors use femur as the precise term, where everyday speech usually just says thighbone.
How FEMUR is used
The standard anatomical term, used in medicine and biology rather than in casual conversation.
