What does LUETIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medicalarchaic
Relating to or affected by lues, an older medical term for syphilis.
Luetic comes from lues, an older clinical name for syphilis borrowed directly from Latin, where lues meant a plague or pestilence. Physicians in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries used luetic routinely in case notes and textbooks, describing patients, lesions, or complications tied to the disease. Modern medicine now prefers syphilitic, so luetic survives mainly in older medical literature rather than in current clinical speech.
