What does RAMAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technicalbotany
Of or relating to a ramus, a branch-like part of a structure such as a bone, nerve or plant stem.
A ramal branch of a nerve or bone is one that comes off a main trunk the way a branch comes off a tree, and anatomists and botanists both reach for the same word because both fields borrow it from the Latin ramus, meaning branch. The jawbone and the pubic bone each have a ramal portion that anatomists describe separately from the main body of the bone. Two rarer synonyms, rameal and rameous, cover exactly the same ground, and a writer choosing among the three is simply picking the least common of otherwise identical technical words.
