What does TRAGUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The small, rounded flap of cartilage in front of the opening of the outer ear.
The tragus sits just in front of the ear canal and partly shields it, which is why it plays a small role in blocking wind noise and directing sound. Piercers also use tragus as the name for a popular piercing placed through this flap. Anatomists distinguish it from the antitragus, the small bump on the opposite side of the ear opening.
