What does PINNA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medicalzoology
The visible, outer part of the ear in humans and many other mammals.
The pinna is the curved, cartilage-and-skin structure that sits on the side of the head and funnels sound into the ear canal, and its exact shape varies widely between species and even between individuals. Doctors and biologists use pinna as the precise technical term where everyday speech simply says ear, and a torn or reshaped pinna is a common subject in both surgery and animal anatomy. Botanists also borrow the same word for a leaflet of a fern or other pinnate leaf, a quite different structure that merely shares the winglike shape the Latin word originally described.
How PINNA is used
