What “itch” means

Wiktionary · Wikipedia

itch/ɪt͡ʃ/

  • nounA sensation felt on an area of the skin that causes a person or animal to want to scratch.
Full entry on Wiktionary →

An itch is a sensation that causes a strong desire or reflex to scratch. Itches have many similarities to pain, and while both are unpleasant sensory experiences, their behavioral response patterns are different. Pain creates a withdrawal reflex, whereas itches lead to a scratch reflex.
