Wordle answer #552
AORTA
noun /eɪˈɔːtə/
The Word, Explained
The great artery which carries the blood from the heart to all parts of the body except the lungs; the main trunk of the arterial system.
"Tracing their battles, I had many occasions to walk along Second Avenue, the aorta of the Lower East Side, exploring places that were once as vibrant and tumultuous as Midtown Manhattan. http//travel.nytimes.com/2007/01/26/travel/escapes/26yiddish.html?8dpc"
Tricky because the repeated A trips up guesses that assume five unique letters.
