What does NASIAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Measured from or referred to the bridge of the nose, as used in the comparison of skulls.
Nasial is a term from craniometry, the measurement of skulls, and it describes anything connected with the nasion point at the bridge of the nose. Anthropologists and forensic scientists use nasial measurements to compare skulls or to reconstruct facial features from skeletal remains. The word is closely tied to nasion itself, since nasial simply turns that landmark into an adjective. Outside specialist anatomy and forensic work, the term is almost never used.
