The answer to each grid-adjacent clue can be entered into the corresponding row in Morse code. Treating Morse dots as bumps and dashes as non-bumps, this will cause another word to be read in each grid using Braille. These words correspond to the clues in the box above. Reading the shaded letters spells CAST RACE ROAM. Writing these three words in Morse and converting to Braille as before spells the answer, STAPH.
In words:
DICK, JINX, WORK → SCHOOL
ARDENT, NEWMAN, ROMEO → ORACLE
