What does WOUND mean in Scrabble?
noun
An injury to living tissue in which the skin or another surface is cut, torn, pierced, or otherwise broken.
A wound can be caused by an accident, a weapon, or surgery, and doctors classify it by how deep it goes and how it happened. The word also works as a verb, so a soldier can be wounded in battle, and it extends figuratively to nonphysical harm, as when criticism leaves a wound to someone's pride. This wound, describing an injury, is unrelated in origin to the identically spelled past tense of the verb wind, as in the road wound through the hills.
How WOUND is used
Used for both physical injuries and figurative emotional hurt, and doubles as a verb.
- The medic cleaned the wound before bandaging it.
- His pride still bore the wound from that harsh remark.
