What does PUBIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The pubic bone, the front lower part of the hip bone that forms the anterior section of the pelvis.
The pubis sits at the front of the pelvis, where the two hip bones meet at a joint called the pubic symphysis. Anatomists and doctors use pubis specifically for this bone, distinct from the surrounding soft tissue that people commonly call the pubic area. Understanding the position of the pubis matters in fields such as obstetrics, orthopedics, and forensic examination, where the shape of the pelvis can reveal information about age or sex.
