What does INBRED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Produced by breeding between closely related individuals, or deeply rooted in a person from the start.
In biology an inbred animal or plant comes from parents that share many ancestors, which tends to fix certain traits and also to bring out hidden defects. Breeders sometimes do this on purpose to create a pure line. The word also works figuratively for habits or attitudes that seem built into someone, and for closed groups that rarely admit outsiders.
