What does NAUSEA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A feeling of sickness in the stomach with an urge to vomit.
Nausea is a common bodily sensation that can be caused by illness, motion, pregnancy, certain smells, or strong emotion such as disgust or fear. It usually comes before vomiting but can also occur and pass without it. Doctors treat nausea as a symptom rather than a disease in itself, since it can point to many different underlying causes. The word is also used more loosely for a strong feeling of disgust, even without any physical sickness.
