What does GARGET mean in Scrabble?
noun
An inflammation of the udder in cows and other farm animals, causing swelling and affecting the milk.
Garget is a term farmers and veterinarians use for a painful swelling of the udder, most often in dairy cows, that can taint the milk and reduce how much an animal produces. Older veterinary writing also used garget for a related inflammation of the throat, which is where the word's two senses overlap in older farming manuals. Because a certain plant was once used as a folk remedy for this udder condition, that plant came to be called garget in some regions, showing how a treatment can end up sharing the name of the disease it treats. Today garget survives mainly in older farming and veterinary texts rather than everyday speech.
