What does WENNY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medicalrare
Relating to or covered with wens; having the character of a wen, a harmless lump under the skin.
Older medical writing used wenny to describe skin marked by one or more wens, small fatty or cystic lumps that form just beneath the surface without causing pain. The adjective builds directly on the noun wen, a term still used informally today for this kind of harmless growth on the scalp or neck. Because modern medicine now favours more precise names such as sebaceous cyst, wenny survives mainly in historical medical texts and dialect speech rather than in current clinical language. Its rarity means the word wenny is unfamiliar to most readers outside older medical or dialect writing.
