What does OTITIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Relating to otitis, an inflammation of the ear.
Doctors use otitic to describe symptoms, complications or findings that arise from otitis, the general term for ear inflammation that includes common childhood middle-ear infections. An otitic complication, for instance, might be a spread of infection from the ear into nearby bone or tissue, which clinicians need to name precisely in a chart or referral. The word itself carries no information about which part of the ear is affected or how severe the inflammation is, since that detail sits in the word otitis it derives from. It appears almost exclusively in clinical notes and medical literature rather than in everyday descriptions of earache.
