What does TISSUE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A group of similar cells in a plant or animal that work together to perform a particular function, or a soft, thin paper used for wiping or wrapping.
Biology reserves tissue for the level of organization between individual cells and whole organs, so muscle tissue, nerve tissue, and connective tissue each carry out their own specialized role within the body. Everyday speech instead uses tissue for a small square of soft, absorbent paper, reached for to wipe a nose or clean up a spill. The word can also describe any fine, gauzy fabric, and figuratively a tissue of lies describes a story built entirely from falsehoods.
How TISSUE is used
Common noun with distinct biological, everyday, and figurative senses that context usually separates clearly.
