breasts
word · lemma: breast
Definition
The breasts are the two soft parts on the front of a woman’s chest. The word can also refer more generally to the front part of the chest in some formal, literary, or anatomical contexts.
Usage & Nuances
This is a neutral anatomical word, common in medical, health, and body-related contexts. In everyday speech, tone matters: it can sound clinical, respectful, sexual, or awkward depending on context. Do not confuse it with 'chest', which is broader and often less specific.
