What does LOBATE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Having or shaped like lobes; divided into rounded projecting sections.
A lobate structure is marked off into rounded parts by grooves or notches, without the sections separating completely from one another. Botanists use lobate to describe leaves with rounded indentations, while zoologists apply it to feet, like those of a coot, that carry broad flaps along each toe instead of full webbing. The term always points to shape, not to size or function.
