What does TRAUMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A deeply distressing experience that leaves lasting emotional harm, or a serious physical injury to the body.
Doctors in emergency wards speak of trauma when a patient arrives with injuries from an accident or violence. Psychologists use the word for the lasting mental damage left by frightening events, such as war, abuse or disaster. It comes from a Greek word meaning wound, and the two senses, bodily and emotional, now sit side by side.
