What does TUSSIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The medical name for a cough.
Tussis is the clinical term doctors and pharmacists use for an ordinary cough, and it survives today mainly inside compound words such as antitussive, a medicine that suppresses coughing, and tussive or tussal, meaning related to a cough. Outside medicine the plain English word cough covers the same thing, so tussis rarely appears in everyday conversation. It comes directly from the Latin word of the same meaning.
