What does FLESH mean in Scrabble?
noun
The soft substance of a human or animal body, consisting mainly of muscle and fat, lying beneath the skin.
Flesh is the plainest, oldest word English has for the body's soft tissue, older and blunter than the more clinical muscle or tissue, and it carries weight in religious and philosophical writing precisely because of that bluntness, where the flesh stands opposed to the spirit for everything bodily. The same word names the edible pulp of a fruit once the skin and stone are set aside, a peach's flesh being the part actually eaten. In its oldest sense, flesh and blood still describes a person's own close relatives, as though kinship itself were a physical substance shared between them.
How FLESH is used
Uncountable, as in a wound in the flesh or the flesh of a mango; also in fixed phrases such as flesh and blood.
- The knife barely broke the flesh before he pulled it back.

- She refused to abandon her own flesh and blood.
- Years of training had turned fat into solid flesh.
