Wilt
Legendary NBA center
Wilt refers to the drooping or loss of rigidity in plants, often caused by insufficient water, disease, or damage to vascular tissues.
In botany, wilt diseases are commonly caused by fungi like Fusarium or Verticillium, which block water transport in stems.
Wilt can also describe the psychological or physical weakening of a person: He began to wilt under the pressure of the interrogation.
In basketball, Wilt is shorthand for Wilt Chamberlain, a legendary player known for scoring 100 points in a single game.
