AHD's word-of-the-day today is
cicatrix: A scar left by the formation of new connective tissue over a healing sore or wound.Is that any different from some other type of scar? If so, how so?

KallehShu, I can't find much on it. I hadn't heard of it before. It appears to be a synonym of scar, though.

zmježdThe few times I've heard it used, it was simply a fancy synonym for scar. A friend of mine made a film called
Cicatrix.
