What does REMEX mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoologytechnical
One of the large stiff feathers of a bird wing that provide the main lifting and steering surface in flight.
The remex, plural remiges, forms the primary structural feathers along the trailing edge of a wing, distinct from the smaller covert feathers layered above them. Ornithologists count and compare remiges across species to study flight capability, molt patterns, and wing shape. A missing or damaged remex can noticeably affect a bird ability to fly steadily, since these feathers bear most of the aerodynamic load. The term belongs to specialized bird anatomy rather than everyday description of feathers.
