What does RAMOSE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
botany
Branched, especially describing the stem, root, or antlers of a living thing.
Ramose describes a structure that repeatedly splits into smaller branches, the way a tree trunk sends off boughs and twigs. Botanists apply the word most often to stems, roots, and inflorescences, but zoologists borrow it for antlers and coral-like growths that fork the same way. The related spelling ramous names the identical quality; ramose is the form kept as the main entry here.
