What does INTURN mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
An inward turn, especially a curved movement made toward the body or a central axis.
An inturn is a turn made inward, curving back toward the body or toward a central axis rather than away from it. Figure skaters and speed skaters use the word for a stride or turn that bends toward the inside of the curve, in contrast to an outturn that bends away from it. The term also appears in general descriptions of any inward-curving turn or bend, not only in sport. It is a compact way to name a direction of rotation without a longer phrase.
