What does ORGONE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
In the theories of psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, a supposed universal life energy said to permeate the atmosphere and living organisms.
Wilhelm Reich proposed orgone in the 1930s and 1940s as an invisible energy responsible for sexual vitality and general health, and he built devices called orgone accumulators that he claimed could collect and concentrate it. Mainstream science never found evidence for orgone, and American authorities eventually took legal action against Reich over his claims for its therapeutic use. Despite that rejection, the word orgone survives in the vocabulary of alternative medicine and in later cultural references to Reich's ideas. Some novelists and essayists still borrow orgone as shorthand for any vague, mystical life force.
