What does VOMITO mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A severe form of yellow fever marked by dark, blood-stained vomiting.
The word is simply Spanish for vomit and entered English through reports of epidemics in Mexico, the Caribbean and the southern ports of the United States. Writers of the nineteenth century often wrote of the vomito, or the black vomit, when describing the late and most dangerous stage of the disease. The dark colour came from blood that had been partly digested, and its appearance was feared as a sign that death was near.
