What does NODULE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small rounded lump or swelling, either in living tissue, rock or another material.
A nodule can appear in very different settings: a small growth under the skin, a lump of mineral embedded in rock, or a swelling on the root of a bean or pea plant that houses nitrogen-fixing bacteria. What ties the meanings together is size and shape rather than substance, since a nodule is always compact and roughly rounded, never a flat patch or a long ridge. Doctors, geologists and gardeners all reach for the same word because no more specific term fits every case.
How NODULE is used
Common in medical, geological and botanical description alike, always for a small rounded lump.
- The scan showed a small nodule near the base of the lung.
- Miners collect nodules of iron ore from the seabed.
- A pea plant grows root nodules that fix nitrogen from the air.
- The sculptor smoothed away every nodule on the clay surface.
- A hard nodule had formed where the old scar tissue healed.
