What does FETUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The unborn offspring of a mammal in the later stages of development in the womb, after the main body structures have formed.
A fetus is the stage of prenatal development that follows the embryo, beginning once the major organs and body structures have taken shape and continuing until birth. In human pregnancy this stage is usually reckoned from about the ninth week onward, when growth and maturation of existing organs become the main process rather than their formation. The word is central to medical, legal and ethical discussion of pregnancy, and spelling can vary between fetus and the older foetus, especially in British usage.
