What does SUTURE mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A stitch, or a thread used for stitching, that joins the edges of a wound or surgical incision.
Suture is the everyday medical word for stitches, but it also names the line where two parts have grown or been joined together, which is why anatomists use it for the immovable seams between the bones of the skull. The same idea of a joined seam extends into botany, where a suture marks the line along which a seed pod splits open. As a verb, to suture means to close a wound with such stitches.
How SUTURE is used
Common in medical and surgical contexts, both for the material used and the act of stitching, and occasionally in anatomy and botany for a natural seam.
- The surgeon closed the incision with a fine nylon suture.
- It took several sutures to close the cut on his forehead.
- The skull is held together by immovable joints called sutures.
- A pod splits open along its suture when the seeds are ripe.
- The nurse removed the suture once the wound had healed.
