What does PALLOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
An unnatural paleness of the face or skin, often taken as a sign of illness, fear, or shock.
Doctors and writers alike use pallor to describe a complexion that has lost its normal color, whether from a sudden fright, blood loss, or a long illness that keeps a patient out of the sun. A ghost story might describe a character's pallor to suggest fear or approaching death, while a nurse might note pallor on a chart as a plain clinical sign to check further. The word focuses only on the pale color itself, not on the cause behind it.
