What does RESORB mean in Scrabble?
verb
medicaltechnical
To break down and take back into the body or a material what had been formed or deposited there.
In biology the body can resorb bone, a swelling or a stitch, absorbing the material back into the bloodstream rather than expelling it. Dentists speak of roots that resorb, and the noun resorption names the process. The word differs from absorb in that something is taken in for a second time, after it already belonged to the tissue or had been laid down in it.
