What does IATRIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medicalrare
Relating to medicine or to physicians.
Iatric comes from the Greek root for healer that also gives English words like psychiatry and podiatry, and on its own it simply marks something as medical or connected with doctors. The word rarely stands alone in modern writing; it survives mostly as a building block inside longer medical terms rather than as a word people reach for by itself. When it does appear on its own, iatric usually signals older or more formal medical writing rather than everyday clinical language.
