Etymology of GLANDULA PRAEHYOIDEA
The word "glandula praehyoidea" is derived from Latin. Here is the breakdown of its etymology:
1. Glandula: This translates to "gland" in English and it originated from the Latin word "glandula", which means "a productive acorn, lymph node". It is derived from the Latin verb "glans" meaning "an acorn, bullet, or sphere".
2. Praehyoidea: This term is a compound word in Latin, composed of two parts:
- Prae: It means "before" or "in front of" in Latin. It is related to the Latin prefix "prae-", which has the same meaning.
- Hyoidea: This refers to the hyoid bone, which is a U-shaped bone in the neck that supports the tongue.
