What does SACRUM mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The triangular bone at the base of the spine, formed by several fused vertebrae and wedged between the hip bones.
In an adult the sacrum is a single bone, though it begins life as five separate vertebrae that gradually join together in the teens and twenties. It forms the back wall of the pelvis and carries the weight of the upper body down into the legs. The word comes from the Latin os sacrum, meaning sacred bone, an old name whose exact origin is disputed. Below it lies the small tailbone, the coccyx.
