What does JUGUM mean in Scrabble?
noun
botanyzoology
A paired structure in plants or insects, such as opposite leaflets on a leaf or a lobe linking parts of an insect's wing.
Botanists use jugum to describe one of the paired leaflets that sit opposite each other along a compound leaf, and counting them helps identify a plant species. Entomologists apply the same word to a small lobe that links the forewing and hindwing of certain moths so the two move together in flight. Though the word comes from Latin for yoke, its modern use is purely technical and confined to biological description.
