What does FRENUM mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A small fold of tissue that holds or restrains the movement of an organ or part.
The best-known frenum is the thin band under the tongue that tethers it to the floor of the mouth, though similar folds sit beneath the lips and elsewhere in the body. The word comes from Latin for a bridle, which describes the job well: the fold checks how far a part can move. Anatomists also write it fraenum, and the diminutive frenulum is used for smaller folds.
