What does INTORT mean in Scrabble?
verb
raretechnical
To twist or curl something inward, turning it back upon itself.
Intort describes the action of twisting or curling something inward, so that it turns back on itself instead of lying straight. Gardeners and botanists use the word for tendrils, petals or stems that curve inward as they grow, and older anatomical texts used it for muscles that rotate a body part toward the midline. The word comes from the Latin intortus, twisted, and survives far more often in specialist prose than in ordinary conversation.
