What does VERMIS mean in Scrabble?

medicaltechnical
The narrow central part of the cerebellum, lying between its two hemispheres.
Vermis is the Latin word for worm, and anatomists chose it because this strip of tissue in the back of the brain looks like a small worm running between the two halves of the cerebellum. It has a part in balance, posture and the coordination of the trunk of the body. The word is met in textbooks, scans and medical reports, where damage to the vermis is linked with trouble standing and walking steadily.
