What does GLUTE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal, shortened term for the gluteus, one of the large muscles of the buttock, especially as used in exercise and fitness contexts.
Gym instructors and fitness writers shortened the longer anatomical term gluteus maximus into glute, mainly to make workout instructions quicker to say and write, such as glute bridge or glute exercises. The informal word usually refers to one of the large muscles of the buttock that helps with hip movement, standing, and climbing stairs. Because it is informal, glute rarely appears in strict anatomical or medical writing, where gluteus is still preferred.
How GLUTE is used
Common in fitness, sports, and casual conversation about exercise, but avoided in formal anatomical writing.
- Squats are one of the best exercises for building the glute muscles.
- She felt a strain in her left glute after the run.
- The trainer added a glute bridge to the workout routine.
- Cyclists often have well developed glute muscles.
- He stretched his glute before the sprint.
