OP Call all Greek scholars! what does the root "phaeo-" mean?
It appeared in spelling bee as "phaeochrous" with short definition meaning "dusky".
The only other place I have seen this root used is in a tumor of the adrenal called "pheochromocytoma".
But I haven't been able to find out anything about the
basic root, or confirm what the spelling bee sheet gave.
