What does UREDO mean in Scrabble?
noun
medicalarchaic
An old medical term for a stinging, itching skin eruption resembling a nettle sting, such as hives.
Uredo comes from the Latin urere, to burn, the same root that gives urtica, the nettle, and urticaria, the modern medical name for hives. Older medical writing used uredo for the burning, itching rash the plant produces on skin, and later for similar eruptions with no plant involved at all. The same word also survives in botany, where it once named the blistering pustules that rust fungi raise on the leaves of infected plants, a use that echoes the same burning, blistering image.
