What does VISCUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
Any single large organ inside the body cavities, such as the heart, liver, stomach or intestine.
Doctors use viscus when they want to speak of one internal organ as a class rather than naming it, for example when describing pain from a hollow organ in the abdomen. The word is Latin and keeps its Latin plural, viscera, which is far more common in everyday English. A surgeon might speak of a perforated viscus when something in the gut has torn open.
