What does GLOMUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A small, rounded tangle of tiny blood vessels, such as the ones that help regulate skin temperature.
The word is Latin for a ball of yarn, a fair picture of the coiled vessels it names. A glomus in the fingertips and toes opens and closes to control blood flow and heat loss. The same term appears in glomus tumour, a rare growth arising from such a structure, so context shows which meaning is intended.
