What does TORSO mean in Scrabble?
noun
The trunk of the human body, excluding the head, arms, and legs.
A torso is used both in ordinary speech about a person's build and in clinical or artistic description, covering the chest, back and abdomen as one connected region rather than any single organ or muscle. Sculptors also use torso for a statue deliberately or accidentally missing its extremities, a form made famous by ancient fragments that survived when the rest of the figure did not. From that sense comes a further, figurative use for any unfinished or incomplete piece of work, such as a torso of a novel left unfinished at a writer's death. Exercise instructors often refer to strengthening the torso when they mean the midsection rather than the limbs.
