What does GRAFT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A piece of living tissue, skin, or plant shoot that is transplanted or joined onto another body or plant so that it grows there.
In gardening, a graft joins a shoot from one plant onto the rooted stem of another so the two grow together as one, a technique used to combine hardy roots with a chosen variety of fruit or flower. In medicine, a graft is skin, bone, or other tissue moved from one place to help repair another. The word also has an unrelated informal sense describing bribery or corrupt dealing, and in British slang it can simply mean hard work.
