What does GONION mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A craniometric point at the outer angle of the lower jaw, where the body of the jawbone meets its upward branch.
Anatomists and orthodontists use the gonion as a fixed landmark for measuring the shape of the skull and jaw, marking it on the left and right side of the lower jaw where the horizontal and vertical parts of the bone meet. The plural is gonia. It appears mainly in craniometry, dentistry and forensic anthropology, where the distance between the two gonions helps describe how wide or narrow a jaw is. Outside these fields the word is almost never used.
