Medical Definition of Rigor. Rigor: A word with two different but related meanings in medicine: 1. A chill, usually with shivering, as at the onset of high fever and chills. 2. Rigidity, as in rigor mortis, the rigidity of a body after death. The alternate spelling rigour is chiefly British.
Rigor is NOT lots of homework, projects, resources, or rules. When those four nouns are used to define rigor, the teacher is flailing, thinking quantity is quality.
